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. (Switch-E-Rooney!)

Telephone numbers well, you know, Doin' my rhumbas with uno,
And that 'in' my Satin Doll.
