Satin Doll Charms with Latin Flair and Sophisticated Swagger
Lyrics
Cigarette holder which wigs me
Referring to a cigarette holder, an accessory that impresses or intrigues the speaker.
Over his shoulder, he digs me
The person pays attention to the speaker, showing interest and attraction.
He's cattin' that satin doll
He's courting or pursuing the sophisticated and elegant "satin doll."
Baby, can't we go out steppin?
Asking to go out dancing or socializing.
Careful, amigo, you're trippin'
A warning to be careful and not make a mistake.
Speaks Latin that satin doll
Describing the allure and sophistication of the satin doll, who speaks Latin symbolically.
He's nobody's fool so
Describing the man as wise or experienced.
I'm playing it cool as can be
The speaker is acting nonchalant or unaffected.
I'll gonna give it a whirl
Willing to try something new or take a chance.
But I ain't for no guy catching me
Not easily caught or captivated by someone.
Swich-e-rooney
An exclamation or a phrase indicating a change or shift.
Telephone numbers well you know
Possibly referring to acquiring many contacts or potential romantic interests.
Doing my rhumbas with uno
Engaging in dance moves, possibly implying doing things alone.
And that'n my satin doll
The satin doll, again highlighting her elegance and allure.
Speaks Latin that satin doll
Reiteration of the satin doll's sophistication and possibly her eloquence.
Out cattin' that satin doll
Reiterating that the satin doll is out and about, possibly socializing or being seen.
