Intro: G5  C5  G5

G5            C5                    D5
Daddy's best girl in the world is not supposed to have a boyfriend
C5               B5              A5
But she's never wanted at home
C5           G5           A5
Other girls are allowed to wear their makeup
           C5                B5               D5
She sneaks out her lipstick powder and comb
D5                           G5                  C5
She surrounds his name with hearts and flowers
G5                          C5     G5   C5
Talks on the telephone for hours and hours
   
But with the bird in his hand
G5   D5        G5
And two on a string
    C5                     D5
The words of love have an imitation ring

Chorus:
D5   C5
You little fool
G5         D5           C5           G5
I suppose that your going to stay all night
D5   C5
You little fool
G5                D5        C5           G5
Don't look at me that way you know it isn't right
D5   B5        G5                D5   C5
You little fool, you little fool, you little fool

Bridge:
E5        A5       A5      D5
They say no news is good news
    E5      A5          A5     D5
The little girl wants information
D5           C5         G5    E5        A5
Mother just gives her some pills to choose
    F5           Bb5       C5
And says go and use your imagination
G5            C5                 D5
Daddy's best girl in the world says just look what I have got
       C5               B5                A5
As she sits beside him on the high stools
C5             G5                A5
With his arms around her neck, snowball in one hand
        C5             B5       D5
And the other full of imitation jewels 
              D5   
She fingers a string of pearls
G5                C5     G5     C5
An imitation but he'll never know it 
          G5      D5        G5
Imitation lashes flutter above
C5                 D5         E5
Looking for an imitation of love 
**Chorus
