I Want a Skinny Papa - Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Lucky Millinder And His Orchestra

I want a tall skinny papa

Yeah!

I want a tall skinny papa

Yeah!

I want a tall skinny papa

Yeah!

I want a tall skinny papa

Yeah!

I want a tall skinny papa

That’s all I’ll ever need

She wants a tall, tall, tall skinny papa

Tall, tall, tall skinny papa

Tall, tall, tall skinny papa

I want a tall skinny papa

That’s all I’ll ever need

He’s got to be all mine

Treat me fine

Walk the chalk line

And stay on my mind

He’s got to be alright

Learn to fight all night

Mama will do the rest

And now how 'bout that, Miss?

He’s got to do what he’s told

And bring sweet mama that gold

Satisfy my soul

He’s gotta be tall

Yeah!

Tall

Yeah!

He’s gotta be tall

Yeah!

Tall

Yeah!

I want a tall skinny papa

That’s all I’ll ever need
