Intro:
FF              Bb7Bb7
Do do do wa do wa do
FF  G7G7   Dm7Dm7       C7C7
Do do do wa do wa do

Verse:
FF              Bb7Bb7
My lean  baby, tall and  thin
FF         G7G7     Dm7Dm7          C7C7
Five feet seven, of bones and skin
FF                       Bb7Bb7             BdimBdim
But when she tells me   maybe she loves me
FF                                   F#m7b5F#m7b5
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be


Verse:
FF                Bb7Bb7
She's so skinny, she's so drawn
FF                         G7G7                         C7C7
When she stands sideways, you would think that she's gone
FF                              Bb7Bb7
But when she calls me, "Baby", I feel fine
FF                                               Gm7b5Gm7b5
To think she's frantically, romantically mine


Verse:
Cm7Cm7   Dm7Dm7                G7G7
She's slender, but she's tender
Cm7Cm7   Dm7Dm7            Bb6Bb6
She   makes my heart surrender
FF     G6G6                  C6C6
And   every night, when I hold her tight
C6C6                   Bb6Bb6                    C7C7
The feeling is nice, my arms can go around twice

Verse:
FF             Bb7Bb7
My lean baby, she's so slim
FF                     G7G7
A augmentedA broomstick's wider, but not as trim
FF                              Bb7Bb7
And when she starts to kiss me, then I know
FF                                            Ab7Ab7
 love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go   No!

My lean baby, strange to see

And all that nothing, it belongs to me
G+G                              C7C7    GbdimGbdim
And though she may be scrawny, she's okay
Gmaj7Gmaj7                                 G6G6
Because I wouldn't want her any other way


Verse:

G6G6                                               Dm7Dm7
To think she's frantically, roman tic ally mine

I   chased her, and I caught her
Dm7Dm7  G7G7                C6C6
Then a diamond ring, I bought her
E minor 7Em7  A major 6A6                                 D6D6
Hey, the diamonds shine, the ring is so fine
D MajorD                      Am7Am7                       G7G7
But here is the twist, she wears it right on her wrist
