Kewpie Doll

Well I took my baby to the carnival
And I heard that barker yell
"Come on and win yourself a pretty kewpie doll
All you gotta do is ring the bell"

Well, I swung the hammer just as hard as I could
And you should've heard the wild applause
When "bong" went the bell and the man said; "well"
I guess the kewpie doll is yours

I said, "give me 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"

Then we walked down the midway till we saw a crowd
And the man said, "try your skill"
Five 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 nine feet tall
Oh, five shots crashed and five ducks splashed
And the man gave me a kewpie doll

I said, "give me 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"

Then my baby said, "honey, let me try my luck"
And knocked the milk bottles off the shelf
You should've seen this chick, she was a dead-eye dick
Hey, I couldn't do better myself

And then my face got red and my chest swelled up
And my eyes bugged out of my head
'Cause when the prize turned out to be a kewpie doll
This is what my baby said

She said, "give me a doggie or a teddy bear
Or a high school banner for my wall
'Cause, I got me a real live kewpie doll
And he's the cutest one of them all"

I said, "she's the cutest one of them all"
I said, "the cutest one of them all"
I said, "the cutest one of them all"
