Lean Baby (CD Reissue Bonus Track)

(альбом: Point Of No Return - 1962)

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

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,...)
