Kewpie Doll
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!
