Lyrics

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
Written by: Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer
