Kewpie Doll (With Mitchell Ayres and His Orchestra)

Well, I took my baby to the carnival

And 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

And 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

And she's the cutest one of them all

Kew-kew-kewpie doll

Kew-kew-kewpie doll

Kew-kew-kewpie doll

Kew-kew-kewpie doll

And then, we walked down the midway

'Till we saw a a crowd an' the man said

Try your skill

5 shots for a quarter

Make a duck hit the water

And give your little baby a thrill

Well, my baby smiled, and she kissed me once

And I felt I was 9 feet tall

Oh, 5 shots crashed, and the 5 ducks splashed

And 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

And 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 me try my luck"

And 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

And then my face got red, and my chest swelled up

And 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

And cutest one of them all

I said, she's the cutest one of them all (kew-kew-kewpie doll)

And she's the cutest one of them all (kew-kew-kewpie doll)

And she's the cutest one of them all (oh yeah)
