A Pretty Little Doll

I watched them Primp and polish. That pretty little doll She sat quiet and still. I watched them pluck and tease that pretty little doll Pluck and tease. Tease and pluck. Her hair Her makeup Her clothes All down to the last nail Polished and shined But when that Pretty little doll Stepped into the sun She was done. For as it’s known A pretty little doll Can’t stand alone.
