Lyrics Lean, Baby - Frank Sinatra

Lean, Baby

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…
