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!
