Daddy's best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend

But she's never wanted at home

Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup

She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb

She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers

Talks on the telephone for hours and hours

But with the bird in his hand

And two on a string

The words of love have an imitation ring



You little fool, you little fool

I suppose that your going to stay all night

You little fool

Don't look at me that way you know it isn't right

You little fool



They say no news is good news

The little girl wants information

Mother just gives her some pills to choose

And says go and use your imagination



Daddy's best girl in the world says just look what I have got

As she sits beside him on the high stool

With his arm around her neck snowball in one hand

And the other full of imitation jewels

She fingers a string of pearls

An imitation but he'll never know it

Imitation lashes flutter above

Looking for an imitation of love



You little fool

I suppose that your going to stay all night

You little fool

So don't look at me that way you know it isn't right

You little fool
