Lean Baby Lyrics

Lean Baby lyrics

My lean baby - tall and thin

 Five feet seven - of bones and skin

 But when she tells me baby - (that) 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 (would) think (that) 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 feeling 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

 

 My lean baby - strange to see

 And all that nothing - it belongs to me

 And though she may be scrawny - she's OK

 Because I wouldn't want her any other way

 

 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 diamonds shine - the ring is so fine

 But here is the 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

 

 My lean baby - tall and thin...

 (do-do-do-do-do,...)
