A doll the other fellas cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys
with their flirty, flirty eyes
They'll have to flirt with
When I come home at night,
Oh, I'd rather have a paper doll
than have a thicker -minded
I guess I've had a million
I guess I've played that doll
I just quarreled with Sue
and that's just why I'm blue
She went away and left me,
Oh, it's tough to love a doll
And I'm through with all of it,
I'm gonna buy a paper doll
A little old doll that other
And then the flirty, flirty guys
With their flirty, flirty eyes
They'll have to flirt with
When I come home at night
she'll be sittin' there waitin'
and she'll be the truest doll
Say, I'd rather have a paper doll
than have an insufficient,
fickle -minded real -life girl.
