Paper Doll
Words & Music by Johnny S. Black, 1915
Recorded by The Mills Brothers, 1942
[Verse 1]
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.
(Increase tempo)
[Bridge]
G G6 G G6 | C C/B Am7 Am7/G | C C/B Am7 Am7/G |
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.
G G7 C C/B A7
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?
[Verse 2]
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

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.
