PAPER DOLL
|
Mills Brothers
|
- written by Johnny S. Black, 1915
|
- lyrics as recorded by The Mills Brothers in 1942
|
|
I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
|
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
|
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
|
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
|
|
When I come home at night she will be waiting
|
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
|
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
|
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
|
|
I guess I had a million dolls or more
|
I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er
|
I just quarrelled with Sue, that's why I'm blue
|
She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do
|
|
I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone
|
And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own
|
I'm through with all of them
|
I'll never ball again
|
Say boy, whatcha gonna do?
|
|
I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
|
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
|
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
|
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
|
|
When I come home at night she will be waiting
|
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
|
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
|
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
|
