Over her shoulder, she digs me, - Out cattin' that Satin Doll.
Baby shall we go out shippin', Careful amigo, you're flippin', Speaks latin, that Satin Doll.
She's nobody's fool,
So I'm playin' it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl,
But ain't for no girl catchin' me!
Telephone numbers, well, you know, Doing my rhumbas with Uno, And that 'n' my Satin Doll.
Exit: D7 - G7 - C7

actually, I changed my mind; the melody is so easy (and slow) it really doesn't need to be tabbed, since the whole thing could be played on one string. I think it's easier (on me, at least) simply to write the note names over the lyrics. so, here goes:
Satin Doll--by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Johnny Mercer
Chords: Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Em7 A7 Em7 A7 Notes: A G A G A A G A B A B A B B A B Words: Cig-a-rette holder, which wigs me, over her shoulder, she digs me
Chords: Am9 D9 Abm9 Db9 C Notes: D C D Bb Ab Bb G Words: Out cattin', that satin doll
subsequent verses are the same. onto the bridge:
Chords: Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7b9 FM7 Gm7 Am7 Bbm7 Notes: G C Bb A G A Bb C Bb A G A Bb C Words: She's no-bod-y's fool, so I'm playing it cool as can be
Chords: Am7 D7 Am7 D7b9 G7 Dm7 G7 Notes: C D C B A B C D C B A B C D Words: I'll give it a whirl, but I ain't for no girl catching me
I assume you know how the rhythm goes. Hope this is accurate, and hope it helps. If any of this is unclear, let me know. Suggestions, corrections, improvements, general wisdom welcome.
