Kewpie Doll (with Mitchell Ayres and His Orchestra & The Ray Charles Singers) Songtext
von Perry Como

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)
