Lyrics Keep it Gay - Bing Crosby

Keep it Gay

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
Then my baby said, honey let me try my luck
And knock 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 outta 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
