Kewpie Doll (with Mitchell Ayres and His Orchestra & The Ray Charles Singers)

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)
