The words of love have an imitation ring
An imitation but he'll never know it
She fingers a string of pearls
Daddy's best girl in the world
They say no news is good news
She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb
Looking for an imitation of love
And the other full of imitation jewels
You little fool, little fool, little fool
Don't look at me that way, you know it isn't right
And says go and use your imagination
Mother just gives her some pills to choose
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool
Talks on the telephone for hours and hours
But she's never wanted at home
As she sits beside him on the high stool
With his arm around her neck, snowball in one hand
Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
With the bird in his hand and two on a string
You little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool
Don't look at me that way, you know it isn't right
I suppose that you're going to stay all night
You, you little fool, little fool, little fool
You little fool, little fool, little fool
Imitation lashes flutter above
She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers
I suppose that you're going to stay all night
Says just look what I've got
The little girl wants information
You, you little fool, little fool, little fool
