PAPER DOLL

Writer Johnny Black



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

quarreled 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
