Which wigs me;
Over his shoulder,
I know he digs me,
Out-cappin'
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 playin' it cool
As can be.
I'll give it a try,
But I ain't for no guy
Catchin' me,
Switcheroony!
Telephone number,
Well you know,
I'm doin' my rumba
with you know,
As Latin,
My satin doll.
He's nobody's fool,
So I'm playin' it cool
As can be.
I'll give it a try,
But I ain't for no guy
Catchin' me,
Switcheroony!
Telephone number,
Well you know,
I'm doin' my rumba
with you know,
I'm battin'
My satin doll.
I'm battin'
My satin doll.
