SLICK CHICK, A
Brooks

as rec by Dinah Wahington w Tab Smith & his Orch  
Aug 11th 1946 New York


I'm a slick chick
On a solid kick,
Always lookin' for any man,
I'm on the mellow side!

I'm a sharp queen,
I make the hep cats scream,
Know just how to send a man,
I'm on the mellow side!

Now when I start to jivin'
Beneath a groovy moon,
Jack, you'll holler "Murder!",
And swoon, swoon, swoon!

I'm a slick chick,
I know that's the lick!
Gee, but I'm a killer, man!
I'm on the mellow side!

Always lookin' for any man,
I'm on the mellow side!

Yes, I know just how to send a man,
I'm on the mellow side!

Oh, when I start to jivin'
Beneath a groovy moon,
Jack, you'll holler "Murder!",
And swoon, swoon, swoon!

I'm a slick chick,
Don't you know that's the lick?
Gee, but I'm a killer, man!
I'm on the mellow side!
