Lyric Lean Baby
My lean baby, tall and thin,
5 feet 7 of bones and skin
But when she tells me, baby, she loves me
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be.
She s so skinny, she s so drawn,
When she stands sideways you d think she s gone
But when she calls me baby, I feel fine
To think she s frantically, romantically mine.
She s slender, but she s tender.
She makes my heart surrender.
And every night when I hold her tight,
The feelin is nice - my arms can go around twice
My lean baby she s so slim
A broomstick s wider but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me
Then I know I love her so, I ll never ever let her go.
No - my lean baby, strange to see
And all that nothin it belongs to me.
And though she may be scrawny she s OK
Because I wouldn t want her any other way.
Man, she s so skinny, she s so drawn,
When she stands sideways you would think that she s gone
But when she calls me baby, I feel fine
To think she s frantically, romantically mine.
I chased her and I caught her.
Then a diamond ring I bought her.
Hey, the diamond shines, the ring is so fine,
but here is a twist - she wears it right on her wrist.
My lean baby she s so slim
A broomstick s wider but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me
Then I know I love her so, I ll never ever let her go.
