Satin Doll lyrics

Song information

Artist: Nina Simone
Album: Sings Ellington

Lyrics

(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
