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
