Duke Ellington at Central Park

THE DUKESATIN DOLL

Cigarette holder, which wigs me
Over his shoulder, I know he digs me.
Out cattin’…. that satin doll.

Baby, shall we go, out skippin?
Careful, amigo, you’re flippin’,
Speaks Latin that satin doll.

He’s nobody’s fool so I’m playing it cool as can be.
I’ll give it a try but I ain’t for no guy catching me,
Switch-a-rooney!

Telephone number, well you know,

Doin’ my rhumbas, with uno
And that ‘in, my Satin Doll.
He’s nobody’s fool so I’m playing it cool as can be.
I’ll give it a try but I ain’t for no guy catching me,
Switch-a-rooney!

Telephone numbers well you know,

I’m doin’ my rhumbas with uno
And that ‘in, my Satin Doll.
And that ‘in, my Satin Doll.
