SATIN DOLL lyric jazz standard

SATIN DOLL

Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. Written in 1953

Cigarette holder which wigs me

over my shoulder, he digs me
Out cattin' my satin doll

Baby, shall we go out steppin',

careful, amigo, you're flippin'
Speaks Latin, my satin doll

He's nobody's fool and I'm playing it cool as can be
I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no boy catching me,

Telephone numbers well you know,

I'm doing my rumbas with uno
And that'n my satin doll
