I'm a little doll who was dropped and broken
Falling off my mommy's knee
I'm a little doll who has just been mended
Now won't you tell me please.
Are My Ears On Straight, Is my nose in place
Have I got a cute expression on my face?
Are my blue eyes bright, Do I look all right?
To be taken home Christmas Day?
When I first came here, Just a month ago.
Brought in by a little girl who loved my so.
She began to cry, 'Til they told her I
Could be taken home Christmas Day.
Christmas Eve is drawing nearer, And I'm getting scared
Wish I could see in a mirror, How I've been repaired.
I'll be called for soon, But I'm worried so
Will she love me like she did a month ago.
Are My Ears On Straight? I can hardly wait.
