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
