Songtexte Lean Baby - Dinah Washington

My lean baby is tall and thin
Five feet seven of bones and skin
But when he tells me maybe, he loves me
I feel as whirly as a girly can be

He's so skinny, he's so drawn
When he stand sideways you think he's gone
But when he calls me, baby, I feel fine
To think he's frantically, romantically mine

He's slender but he's tender
He makes my heart surrender
And every night when I hold him tight
The feelings is nice, my arms can go 'round twice

My lean baby, he's so slim
A broom stick's wider compared to him
But when he starts to kiss me then I know
I love him so, I'll never ever let him go

(My lean baby tall and thin)
(Five feet seven of bones and skin)
But when he tells me maybe, he loves me
I feel as whirly as a girly can be

(He's so skinny, he's so drawn)
(When he stand sideways you think he's gone)
But when he calls me, baby, I feel fine
To think he's frantically and romantically mine

He is slender but he's tender
He makes my heart surrender
And every night when I hold him tight
The feeling is nice, my arms can go around twice

(My lean baby, he's so slim)
(A broom stick's wider but not as trim)
But when he starts to kiss me then I know
I love him so, I'll never ever let him go
Yes, I love him
I'll never ever let him go
