My lean baby, tall and thin,
5 feet 7 of bones and skin
But when she tells me, baby, 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'd think 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 feelin' 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.

No, my lean baby, strange to see
And all that nothin' it belongs to me.
And though she may be scrawny she's OK
Because I wouldn't want her any other way.

Man, 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 diamond shines
the ring is so fine,
but here is a 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 do-do, do-do-do
