Anyone have complete lyrics for song containing these;
"cardboard apples make cardboard pies, cardboard faces tell cardboard lies"
Also, who wrote/sang it?

Any indications as to when, whether new at that time, revival, music style, etc?

Another thread response partially answered this question also for me. It is listed as composed by Jacqueline Sharpe.
I believe the song to be late 1960s/early 1970s vintage. Song is sung slowly, with acoustic accompaniament.
