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'll be 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 finger, 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
I'm your puppet
I'm your puppet
I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful
Do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet
I'm your puppet
Pull them little strings, and I'll sing you a song
I'm your puppet
Make me do right, or make me do wrong
I'm your puppet
Treat me good, and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet, and you hold my string
I'm your puppet
Yeah, I'm your puppet
Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string, girl
I'll do anything now
I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet
And I love you
I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
Even make you happy when you're feeling blue
