She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s trying, trying hard, not to fall
Ferris Wheel’s turning, spotlights burning
It’s time again for the carnival
Carousel’s spinning, children are grinning
Every August, yeah, life’s a ball
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s a little knock-down doll
She thinks she’s the queen of the carnival
She waits for summer, a year-long suffer
For her carnie to come back ‘round
He works the booth games, they're all rigged the same
And he drives the truck from town to town
She’s a little knock-down doll
Shе’s a little knock-down doll
She thinks she’s thе queen of the carnival
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s trying, trying hard, not to fall
She always thought she’d be a big star
Shining bright in the summer night
But when the show was over
There ain’t a star to be found
She thinks she loves him, she thinks she needs him
And she’ll die without his touch
To him, she’s just one of a dozen
He doesn’t think about her much
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s a little knock-down doll
She thinks she’s the queen of the carnival
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s trying, trying hard, not to fall
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s a little knock-down doll
She thinks she’s the queen of the carnival
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s a little knock-down doll
She’s trying, trying hard, not to fall
She’s trying, trying hard, not to fall
She’s trying, trying hard, not to fall
