Lyrics
Well I took my baby to the carnival
An' I heard that barker yell ( hey! hey! )
"Come on an' win yourself a purdy kewpie doll
All you gotta do is ring the bell!"
Well I swung the hammer just as hard as I could
An' you should have heard the wild applause . . . ( hooray! )
When "bong" went the bell
And the man said
"Well, I guess the kewpie doll is yours!"( yeah yeah! )
I said, "gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
Or a high school banner for my wall
'Cause I got me a real live kewpie doll
An' she's the cutest one of them all!"
( kew kew kewpie doll! kew kew kewpie doll!
Kew kew kewpie doll! kew kew kewpie doll! )
Ah then, we walked down the midway
'Till we saw a crowd an' the man said "try your skill
Five shots for a quarter, make a duck hit the water
An' give your little baby a thrill"
Well, my baby smiled an' she kissed me once
An' I felt I was nine feet tall
Oh! five shots crashed and the five ducks splashed
An' the man gave me a kewpie doll!
I said, "gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
Or a high school banner for my wall
'Cause I got me a real live kewpie doll
An' she's the cutest one of them all!"
( kew kew kewpie doll! kew kew kewpie doll!
Kew kew kewpie doll! kew kew kewpie doll! )
Ah then, my baby said, "honey, let m try my luck
An' knock the milk bottles off the shelf!"
You should have seen this chick, she was a dead-eye dick
Hey! I couldn't do it better myself!
An' then my face got red and my chest swelled up
An' my eyes bugged outta my head
'Cause when the prize turned out to be a kewpie doll
This is what my baby said, she said . .
"Gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
Or a high school banner for my wall
'Cause I got me a real live kewpie doll
An' he's the cutest one of them all!"
I said, "she's the cutest one of them all!"
An' she's the cutest one of them all! ( kew kew kewpie doll! )
An' she's the cutest one of them all! ( kew kew kewpie doll! )
An' she's the cutest one of them all!
