My Dolly

I put my dolly's dress on
I put my dolly's pants on
I put my dolly's hat on
And she looks like this
I put my dolly's stockings on
I put my dolly's shoes on
She acts just like a clown
Oh and she looks like this
Oh well she looks like this-o
Oh well she looks like this-o
Tra-la-la-la-la-lo
And she looks like this
My dolly talks for me me
My dolly walks for me me
When dolly walks and talks
Oh well she looks like this
My dolly she can sing sing
My dolly she can dance dance
When dolly sings and dances
Well she looks like this
Oh well she looks like this-o
Oh well she looks like this-o
Tra-la-la-la-la-lo
And she looks like this
Dolly says I want to eat eat
Dolly says I want to drink drink
When dolly eats and drinks
Oh well she looks like this
Dolly plays with all her toy toys
Dolly plays with the girls and boy boys
When dolly runs and skips
Oh well she looks like this
Oh well she looks like this-o
Oh well she looks like this-o
Tra-la-la-la-la-lo
And she looks like this
I know my dolly likes me
I know my dolly loves me
When dolly hugs and kisses me
Well we look like this
Dolly says I'm getting tired now
Dolly says I want to lay down
When dolly goes to sleep
Oh well she looks like this
Oh well she looks like this-o
Oh well she looks like this-o
Tra-la-la-la-la-lo
And she looks like this
