What's a Puppet To Do
What’s A Puppet To Do
Puppets get their calories from trees
They start in forest as a twig
Carved out of wood and painted
Everything is tied up in the strings
Pulled this way and that
Lost without the manipulator touch
Marionettes are full of fluffy stuffing
Yet still hunger for their freedom
When the economy becomes a comedy
No one laughs
Puppets never stop
They dance
What’s a puppet to do without his strings?
It sings about swinging in the trees
Free as a twig
