INTRO:
G C G
G C Daddy's best girl in the world is
D not supposed to have a boyfriend
C Bm Am7 But she's never wanted at home
C G Am7 Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
C Bm She sneaks out her lipstick powder
D and comb
D G She surrounds his name with
C hearts and flowers
G C Talks on the telephone for hours
G C6 and hours
G But with the bird in his hand
D G And two on a string
C D The words of love have an
Em imitation ring

CHORUS:
D C You little fool
G D C I suppose that you're going to stay
G all night
D C You little fool
G D C Don't look at me that way you
G know it isn't right
D Bsus4 G You little fool, you little fool,
D C you little fool BRIDGE:
E A A7 D They say no news is good news
E A A7 D The little girl wants information
D C G E Mother just gives her some
A pills to choose
F Bb C And says go and use your imagination
G C D Daddy's best girl in the world says just look what I have got
C Bm As she sits beside him on the high
Am7 stools
C G With his arms around her neck,
Am7 snowball in one hand
C Bm7 And the other full of imitation
D jewels
D She fingers a string of pearls
G C G C6 An imitation but he'll never know it
G D G Imitation lashes flutter above
C D Em Looking for an imitation of love
