Kewpie Doll Songtext
von Perry Como

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!
