| Oh the money we spent and the plans that we laid | E |

| There are toys that are cunningly skillfully made | E |
| But she seems not to give them a thought | G |

| There's the flaxen haired doll with the real human hair | H |
| There's the Teddy Bear left all alone | I |
| There's the automobile at the foot of the stair | H |
| And there is her toy telephone | I |
| We thought they were fine but a little child's eyes | J |
| Look deeper than ours to find charm | K |
| And now she's in bed and the rag dolly lies | J |
| Snuggled close on her little white arm | K |
