C    C&B    A7             Dm7      G
I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own,

   Dm7            Fdim             C       Cdim   Dm7
A doll that other fellows cannot steal;

     G       CM7             C              Bm7     Bm7-5   E7
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes

      A7                D7                G
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real.

     G               G7                  C
When I come home at night she will be waiting;

       G             G7                E7
She'll be the truest doll in all this world.

            F           Fdim     C   E7  A7
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own

            Dm7           G          C
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl.

I guess I had a million dolls or more;
   E                     E7                Am

I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er.

   I just quarrelled with Sue,     that's why I'm blue;
       A    AM7      A7                D   Fdim  D7

She's gone away and left me, just like all dolls do.
      G                  G7            |C C&B Am7 Am7&G | C C&B Am7 Am7&G |

I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone;
          E               E7                  Am

And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own.
G                   D7           G             D7

  I'm through with all of them,    I'll never fall again
      D  D+7 D7         D7&F#  G   D7   G7

Say boy,        whatcha gonna do?
