Lyrics
Pull the string, and I'll wink at you
I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to
I'm your puppet
I'm yours to have and to hold
Darling, you've got full control
Of your puppet
Pull another string, and I'll kiss your lips
I'm your puppet
Snap your fingers and I'll turn you some flips
I'm your puppet
Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
'Cause I'm your puppet
I'm your puppet
I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
Makes you laugh when you are blue
I'll be warm or cold, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
'Cause I'm your puppet
Just pull them little strings, and I'll sing you a song
I'm your puppet
Make me do right or you can make me do wrong
I'm your puppet
Treat me good, and I'll do anything
I'm just your puppet, you hold my string
I'm your puppet
I'm your puppet
I'm your walkin', talkin', livin', lovin' puppet
Hangin' on a string, I'll do anything
I'll hold you, kiss you, love you
Pick me up, put me down, string me up, sit me down
I'm your puppet
Yes, darling, I'm your puppet
