(1953) Billy Strayhorn, Johnny Mercer, Duke Ellington



Cigarette holder which wigs me

over her shoulder, she digs me.

Out cattin' that satin doll.



Baby, shall we go out skippin ?

Careful, amigo, you're flippin',

speaks Latin that satin doll.



She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be.

I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no girl catching me,

swich-e-rooney.



Telephone numbers well you know,

doing my rhumbas with uno

and that'n my satin doll.
