I listened a few dozen more times (sans Jack Daniels) and I think I may have cracked it. I had to separate the channels to get the second part.
Dale, I would appreciate any corrections if you find your copy. I'll email you at the weekend.
CORRUGATED LADY (T. Thompson/J. Black)
Well, I walked and I ran from one end of this land To the other like an athletic fool I was fond of playin' tennis with the countesses of Venice Courtin' princesses in heated swimming pools Back and forth across the ocean, southern Spain to Nova Scotia Chasin' women till my face was turning blue Now my pencil's out of lead, I'll just lay up in bed With my scissors and my paper and my glue 'Cos a cardboard girlfriend's much to be preferred To paper lay-ay-dies I'll take my exercise at home with her Oh, nothin' could be sweeter than my sweetie when I treat her Like a dartboard on the wall That's my great big, corrugated, chipboard paper doll
Instrumental break
[The above first part is sung against the following part]
I'm gonna buy myself a paper doll to call my own One that other fellows cannot steal And then, them flirty-flirty guys with their flirty-flirty eyes Will have to play with dollies that are real When I come home at night she'll be there waiting She'll be the truest doll in all the world I'd rather have myself this paper doll to call my own Than a big old-minded real time girl
