Shirley Simms - The Dolls' Tea Party lyrics

[Verse 1: Shirley Simms] At the dolls' tea party, we fritter away The long afternoon of a warmer summer day With extended pinkies and pink cloisonne Cups and saucers and pots and a liberty tray [Chorus] That's why we take our tea At the dolls' tea party [Verse 2] At the dolls' tea party we twitter along We prattle and tattle on who's done who wrong On who's in who's out and who's best at Mah-Jong Oh and where to buy fabulous things for a song [Chorus] [Verse 3] But the cakes! Ah the cakes Are why everyone's there They're not dietetic in any way Dare to try one and you'll have a few pounds to spare Try another one, what do you care [Verse 4] At the dolls', we're all in our glittering best There will be a test on who's best and worst dressed But we won't have it said that we're fashion obsessed We're just prettier ladies than most of the rest [Chorus]
