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
