Got a velveteen doll, I bought her at the five–and–ten
Cute little velveteen doll, I’ll never be alone again

I keep her under my pillow at night
I keep her in my pocket all day
And though she can’t hold me tight
She’ll never ever run away

Velveteen doll, mhmh
Velveteen doll, oh yeah
I got a velveteen doll

She’s the only one for me, a real doll broke my heart
A rag doll’s better you see, ‘Cause if she ever falls apart
I’ll put her back again and she’ll be good as new
And ev’rything will be OK
If I have the chance to make up with you, I’ll throw my little doll away
Velveteen doll, mh-mh, velveteen doll, oh yeah
Velveteen doll, mh-mh, velveteen doll, oh yeah
