My lean baby - tall and thin
Five feet seven - of bones and skin
But when she tells me maybe she loves me
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be
Shes so skinny - shes so drawn
When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) shes gone
But when she calls me: baby - I feel fine
To think shes frantically, romantically mine
Shes slender, but shes 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 - shes so slim
A broomsticks wider - but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me - then I know
I love her so, Ill 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 - shes OK
Because I wouldnt want her any other way
Shes so skinny - shes so drawn
When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) shes gone
But when she calls me: baby - I feel fine
To think shes 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 - shes so slim
A broomsticks wider - but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me - then I know
I love her so, Ill never, ever, let her go
My lean baby - tall and thin...
