[Intro]
          C           A           D7
I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
  G                             Cm7    G
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
             C                        G                    E7
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
     D7                                  C
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
 
[Verse 1]
     C      C7      D7        G      C
When I come home at night she will be waiting
              A7     D7      G        E7
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
           Am           C       Em      A7
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
            Dm7    D7     G         C
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl
 

{ CHORUS }

[Verse 3]
N.C.
I guess I had a million dolls or more
N.C.
I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er
N.C.
I just quarreled with Sue, that's why I'm blue
N.C.
She's gone away and left me just like all dolls do
 
[Verse 4]
C                    E7
I'll tell you boy, it's tough to be alone
           A7      D7         G          E7
And it's tough to love a gal that's not your own
E7
I'm through with all of them
E7
I'll never fall again
E7
Say boy, whatcha gonna do?
