Frank Sinatra - Lean Baby Lyrics






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,...)

    This was One of my folks 45 RPM Records which I played the H. Out of for a long time!....... Thanks Malcolm!

    1953 was the breakout year for Sinatra. First he starred in the movie From Here to Eternity, won the Oscar and the day after made the album Swing Easy. The biggest hits on the album were this one, and I'm Walking Behind You. Swing Easy and Jazz at Massey Hall were top contenders for Record of the year 1953 and Swing Easy won. Sinatra was just so special to everyone . Nowadays it's all bad: Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Eminem, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea, Cardi B, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Drake, Meek Mill, Big Sean, Nicki Minaj, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, A$AP Ferg, A$AP Rocky, Fetty Wap, DJ Khaled, Charli XCX, Taylor Swift, Meghan Trainor, Charlie Puth, Jason Derulo, One Direction, and Maroon 5. Time to trade in those people for the real artists: Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Bing Crosby, Elvis, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, and Frank Zappa.

    As I agree with you on a certain level, Ariana Grande and Maroon 5 shouldn't really be on that list.
