Dancing the latest dance and eating ribs and tips Digging all the new sounds and drinking gin in sips Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine, baby Ain't that bad, ain't that black, ain't that fine I could go for a ride on your sweet jelly roll But I wouldn't give nothing for my juicy, juicy soul I could go for a ride on your sweet jelly roll But I wouldn't give nothing for my juicy, juicy soul Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine Ain't that bad and ain't that black and ain't that fine Let's go, let's go, let's go Tied up my do-rag and tighten up my 'fro Wrapping myself in black and still I shine and glow Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine Ain't that bad, ain't that black and ain't that fine

A bird fell to earth, reincarnated from her birth She had fodder in her brain Dust inside her wings She flitted here and there United States, everywhere With fodder in her brains And dust inside her brain Oh how sad, oh how sad, oh how sad She watched the people, how they live They've forgotten how to give They had fodder in they're brains Dust inside they're wings She watched them how they tried to live They had forgotten how to give They had fodder in they're wings Dust inside they're brains Kill, pain Kill, pain Kill, pain

My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean He's the meanest man that I've ever see My baby wears high peg pants stripes are really yellow Baby wears high peg pants stripes area really yellow When he starts into love me he's so fine and mellow Love will make you drink and gamble make you stay out all night long Love will make you drink and gamble make you stay out all night long Love will make you do things that you know is wrong Do right baby if you stay home every day I'll do right baby if you stay home every day You're so mean and evil I know you're gonna drive me away Why did he leave me why did he have to go Why did he leave me why did he have to go Went off and left me baby I loved him so I'll be a good wife to you if it means anything to you I'll stay home every night and I'll love you And kiss you every night and one of these days If you're good to me honey one of these day If God is good to me I'll bring you a little burny Come back to me baby try me one more time 'Cause without your loving I swear I'm gonna lose my mind

(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.
