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!

[Gmaj7] [G6]
Because I wouldn't want her any other way

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
