Perry Como - 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!
