Satin Doll

Written By Johnny Mercer & Billy Strayhorn in 1958
Best known recordings done by Duke Ellington and by Ella Fitzgerald

Cigarette holder, which wigs me,
Over his shoulder, he digs me,
Out cattin', that satin doll.

Baby shall we go, out skippin,
Careful amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks latin, that satin doll.

He's nobody's fool so I'm playin' it cool as can be,
I'll give it a try but I ain't for no guy catchin' me.

Telephone numbers, well you know,
Doin' my rhumbas, with uno.
And that'n, my satin doll
