| Lyrics |
In a town near Albuquerquelived a most concerned young boy.
He saidlately I have noticedfolks don't live with peace and joy.
With frowns and worries in their facesthey're lost and don't know where to go.
He said I'll get the people straightenedby putting on a puppet show.
The young New Mexican puppeteerhe saw the people all lived in fear.
He thought that maybe they listen toa puppet telling them what to do.
And now he got some string and he got some woodhe did some carving and he was goodand folks came running so they could hearthe young New Mexican puppeteer.
First he carved out young Abe Lincolnabe will teach 'em civil rights.
Then a king named Martin Lutherso they'd recall his peaceful fight.
Old Mark Twain his wit and wisdomwill surely show them life is fun.
But he smiled with satisfactionwhen the Prince of Peace was done.
The young New Mexican puppeteer...
Now his puppet show were cleverand he made the people laughwhen he got across the messagewalk along love's open path.
He lived in his own puppet theatredecked out with spotlights yellow and red.
And then they wrote him up in all the papersand this is what the story said.
The young New Mexican puppeteer...
