Story Behind the Song
This set of songs: Satin Doll, Baby It's Cold Outside, Comes Love and I Should've Known Better were recorded in the true spirit of jazz -- taking a song and "swinging" it with updated rhythms and improvising on the phrasing and lyrics. The sequence is a soulful, bittersweet, playful and haunting meditation on love in all its grit and glory.
The original Satin Doll is such a sexy song, written with such seductive innuendo, it lurs the listener into it's fantasy. We tried to take the music and the listener into a new fantasy, and "ecstacy" toward the end.
Doesn't Patience sound sweet on this? Mmmm what a sax player.
Lyrics
Cigarette holder, which wigs me
Over his shoulder, he digs me
Out Cattin, That Satin Doll
Baby, shall we go out steppin
Careful amigo, you're flippin
Speaks latin, That Satin Doll
He's noboby's fool I'm playing it cool a can be, yessirree
I'll give hime a try but I ain't for no guy catchin me
Telephone numbers, well you know
Doing my rhumbas with uno
And that'n, That Satin Doll
(improv)
Cigars they wig me
Over his shoulder, he digs me
Out Cattin, This Satin Doll
Baby, let's go, I'll have you trippin
Slowly angel, ooh, youwant me drippin
Take your time with this Satin Doll
He's noboy's fool, I'm playing him cool as can be, yessiree
So he's gettin some skin, believe me he's not winning me
Switcherooni

Downcast eyes means she digs me
She's out cattin and ooh she's some Satin Doll
(Vamp)

This-n-that'n with my pretty latin Satin Doll
Downcast eyes means she's got wet thighs love a Satin Doll
She's on fire baby's gonna take ya higher love that Satin Doll
(Tag)
Telephone numbers, well you know
My rhumbas were always best with uno
And that'n, That Satin Doll
