A pair of hop-along boots
And a pistol that shoots
Are the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk
And will go for a walk
Are the hope of Janet and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait
For school to start again.

-"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" (I've always found that "Mom and Dad" bit to be really sad, even as a kid, because my parents LOVED having us all home during the holidays. I couldn't imagine living where parents want their children to go away.)

I'm a little doll who was dropped and broken
Falling off my mommy's knees

Are My Ears On Straight?

Hello Dolly, well, hello Dolly.
It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
You're looking swell Dolly,
we can tell Dolly,
you're still glowin', you're still crowin', you're still goin' strong.

When you see a guy
Reach for stars in the sky
You can bet
That he's doing it
For some doll

Russian dolls concealing a dream within a dream.
where the depths beneath the surface are rarely ever seen.

I dropped my dolly in the dirt
I asked my dolly if it hurt

an old song played on black keys only -- my brother, sister, & I used to play it on the old upright piano at my grandma's house when we were little.

She should have a pony,
Gallop 'cross the moor.
She should have a doll's house
With a hundred rooms per floor.
Why can't she ask for a treasure,
Something that money can buy
That won't die?
When I give her the world
She asks instead for some earth.

-"A Bit of Earth" from "The Secret Garden"

My sister told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly

I gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellas cannot steal

Cigarette holder
Which wigs me
Over her shoulder
She digs me
Out cattin'
That satin doll

And there's a creepy doll
That always follows you
