  			Skinny Minnie:Bob Denton (Eddie Cochran 
on guitar - 1958.) 

#1. 
G 
Well, I got a girl they call Skinnie Minnie, 

she may be skinny but she's got plenty.. 
    C 
the kind of lovin' that I desire, 
    G 
the kind of love that sets my soul on fire. 
C               D                 G 
Skinnie Minnie, man, that gal can love. 
 
      C 
She's long and lean like a stringbean, 
    G 
she don't look good in blue jeans. 
    C 
Her hair hangs down like a rag mop, 
    D 
she makes my heart go flippedy-flop. 

#2. 
    G 
She can't cook, she ain't much on looks, 

the things she knows, she didn't read in books. 
C               D                 G 
Skinnie Minnie, man, that gal can love. 

(INSTRUMENTAL:PIANO:) 

     C 
When me and Minnie walk down the street, 
G 
all the boys stop and stare. 
    C 
But if they knew just what I do, 
    D 
you bet your life they'd love her, too. 

#3. 
      G 
Well, when I kiss her out in the dark, 

I tear the thing up, there's so much spark. 
C               D                 G   C D G 
Skinnie Minnie, man, that gal can love.
