My Corrugated Paper Girl - The Red Clay Ramblers
------------------------------------------------


[allegro]

Well, I walked and I ran
>From one end of this land
To the other, like an ath-a-letic fool.
I was fond of playin' tennis
With the Countesses of Venice
Courtin' princesses in heated swimmin' pools.

Back and forth across the ocean
Southern Spain and Nova Scotia
Chasing women 'till my face was turnin' blue.
Now my pencil's out of lead,
I'll just lay up in bed
With my scissors and my paper and my glue.

Cause a cardboard girlfriend's much to be preferred
(a paper la-a-dy)
I'll take my exercise at home with her.
Oh, nothin' could be sweeter
Than my sweetee when I treat her
Like a dartboard on the wall ...
That's my great big corrugated, chipboard paper doll.

[repeat last verse, while singing this sotto voce]

I'm gonna buy myself a paper doll to call my own.
One that other fellas cannot steal.
And then them flirty, flirty guys
With their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to play with dollies that are real.

When I come home at night she'll be there waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all the world.
I'd rather have myself a paper doll to call my own
Than a fickle-minded real live gal.
