Just Like A Doll 1922 'Springtime of Youth'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 20 Sep 2005

[Nat:] You're not a girl at all to me,
you're just a pretty toy
a precious bit of chinaware
to cherish and enjoy.
If I could place your pretty face
over my mantel shelf,
living would be heaven for me,
I'd have you all to myself.

Just like a doll,
like a doll that can walk
and talk and say things
just like a doll I'd surround you
with lots of gay things,
for you alone
I'd neglect all my other play things
you'd be the whole world to me.
Just like a doll with your smiles
and your eyes flirtatious
they've never yet made a doll
that was so vivacious
just like a doll that can kiss
oh, my gracious,
what a doll baby you'd be.

[Polly:] A smile of joy,
a roguish eye
a dainty gown of lace
extended arms just begging for
a welcoming embrace.
My only whim
longing for him
who ever he may be,
that's how I feel
for my ideal,
that would be heaven for me.

Just like a doll,
like a doll that can walk and talk
and say things
just like a doll he'll surround me
with lots of gay things,
for me alone
he'll neglect all his other play things
he'll be the whole world for me.
Just like a doll with my smiles
and my eyes flirtatious
they've never yet made a doll
that was so vivacious
just like a doll that can kiss
oh, my gracious,
what a doll baby I'll be.
