lyrics

She called me on the telephone
She said “Come on over to my house
I’ve got something we can play with”
Oh no, I’m not interested
I know what you wanna play with
You’ve got those paper cut-out dolls

It’s coming off the presses
It’s coming off the streets
Kenneth and Barbie on layered sheets
I don’t like to play with those dolls
I don’t like to play with paper dolls

Now, let me tell you why
Cause when I play with those paper dolls
They get between my fingers and they hurt
I don’t like to play with paper
I just like it on my walls

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Paper’s between my fingers
Oh, and it burns

Oh, I need a new word for "ouch"
Between my digits, oh gidget, you’re such a fidget
You hurt when you play with those things
I like plastic, I like plastic, I like plastic dolls

Ouch, get away from my paper dolls
Get away from my paper Ken and Barbie…
Oooh mommy, I don’t like to play with paper dolls
I want my plastic
Ouch, I want my plastic
