(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.
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.

This scary face on the wall
His watch kills every minute
With a sherlock holmes hat
And a rope around his neck
‘cause she said
Satin doll, satin doll
Step by step
Against the wall, against the wall
Step
‘cause she said
Satin doll, satin doll
Step by step
Promises
Promises
Is what she said
Who’s the vampires praying
He strangles me every minute
These purple eyes talk to him
Get me out of this constraint
Satin doll, satin doll
Step by step
Against the wall, against the wall
Step…
