Verse:

Little painted lady with your lovely clothes, Where are you bound for, may I ask?

What your diamonds cost you, Ev'rybody knows. All the world can see behind your mask.

 

Chorus:

All dolled up in glad rags, Tomorrow may turn to sad rags,

They call you Glad Rag Doll.

Admired, desired, By lovers who soon grow tired,

Poor little Glad Rag Doll.

You're just a pretty toy they like to play with;

You're not the kind they choose to grow old and gray with,

Don't make this the end dear, It's never too late to mend, dear,

Poor little Glad Rag Doll.
