KEWPIE DOLL

by: Perry Como

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!
