F              Bb7
Do do do wa do wa do
F  G7   Dm7       C7
Do do do wa do wa do

[Verse]
F              Bb7
My lean  baby, tall and  thin
F         G7     Dm7          C7
Five feet seven, of bones and skin
F                       Bb7             Bdim
But when she tells me   maybe she loves me
F                                   F#m7b5
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be

[Verse]
F                Bb7
She's so skinny, she's so drawn
F                         G7                         C7
When she stands sideways, you would think that she's gone
F                              Bb7
But when she calls me, "Baby", I feel fine
F                                               Gm7b5
To think she's frantically, romantically mine

[Verse]
Cm7   Dm7                G7
She's slender, but she's tender
Cm7   Dm7            Bb6
She   makes my heart surrender
F     G6                  C6
And   every night, when I hold her tight
C6                   Bb6                    C7
The feeling is nice, my arms can go around twice

[Verse]
F             Bb7
My lean baby, she's so slim
F                     G7
A broomstick's wider, but not as trim
F                              Bb7
And when she starts to kiss me, then I know
F                                            Ab7
 love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go   No!

[Bridge]
G             C7              Gbdim
My lean baby, strange to see
G6                    Am7
And all that nothing, it belongs to me
G                              C7    Gbdim
And though she may be scrawny, she's okay
Gmaj7                                 G6
Because I wouldn't want her any other way

[Verse]
G                C7       Gdim
She's so skinny, she's so drawn
G                         Am7
When she stands sideways, you would think that she's gone
C            G                 C7      Gdim
But when she calls me, "Baby", I feel fine
G6                                               Dm7
To think she's frantically, roman tic ally mine

[Bridge]
Dm7 G6                            Dbm7b5
I   chased her, and I caught her
Dm7  G7                C6
Then a diamond ring, I bought her
Em7  A6                                 D6
Hey, the diamonds shine, the ring is so fine
D                      Am7                       G7
But here is the twist, she wears it right on her wrist

[Verse]
G              C7
My lean baby, she's so slim
G                     A7         D6
A broomstick's wider, but not as trim
G                               C      A7
And when she starts to kiss me, then I know
Gmaj7                                        Em7 G
 love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go

[Outro]
G             C7
My lean baby, tall and thin
(Repeat and fade)
G       A7         D6
Do do do wa do wa do
G        C      A7
Do do do wa do wa do
G       A7         D6
Do do do wa do wa do
G        C      A7
Do do do wa do wa do
