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,…)
