Cigarette holder,    which wigs me, 

C#m7      F#7     C#m7      F#7
Over her shoulder,     she digs me; 

Am(V) B7      Fm7     Bb9   A6   Edim  Bm7   E7
Out  cattin',    that satin doll.

Baby shall we go    out skippin'? 

C#m7      F#7  C#m7        F#7
Careful, amigo  --  you're flippin;.

Speaks Latin,   that satin doll.

And that'n,    my satin doll.
