I’m gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own,
   G7                             C6
a doll that other fellows cannot steal
                C              Cm
And then those, flirty, flirty guys, 
           G       B7     E7
with their flirty, flirty eyes 
     D7                                  G7
will have to flirt with dollies that are real
     G7                              C
When I come home at night she will be waiting, 
       G7                             E7
she’ll be the truest doll in all this world
           F            F#dim   C    E7 A7
I’d rather have a paper doll to call my own 
            Dm7          G7        C
than have a fickle-minded real live girl

I guess I’ve had a million dolls or more, 
  E7                                       Am
I guess I’ve played the doll game o’er and o’er
       G7                  C              A7
I just quarreled with Sue, that’s why I’m blue; 
      D7                              G7  Gdim  G7
She’s gone away and left me just like all dolls do
     G7                              C
I’ll tell you, boys, it’s tough to be alone, 
         E7                                   Am
and it’s tough to love a doll that’s not your own.
G                                 F#/G  
    I’m through with all of them,
