Puppet Girl
Hey there little puppet girl
How d'you learn to talk that way?
Hey there little puppet girl girl
Who put the mouth in all the things you say?
Hey little puppet girl
Now it's time to sing and dance
We build your reputation
to fade away the very day
You cut, cut, cut, cut, cut your string
I looked in the office mirror
And I saw that our faces matched
I looked at their offer
and I saw the strings attached
They said that any girl
would be impressed but still
It's better than being tied
to the kitchen sink
or stuck at the checkout till
I ran out screaming
and of course it commenced to rain
My ears were ringing
and my cheeks were tear-stained
Then her words came back to me
She said: "judge me if you dare"
"When I look in the mirror
I don't see a puppet
I see a millionaire"
Hey little puppet girl
Now it's time to sing and dance
We'll ruin your reputation
on the day you break away
And try to cut, cut, cut, cut, cut your string
Hey there little puppet girl
Hey there... cut, cut, cut, cut, cut it!
How d'you learn to talk that way?
Hey there little puppet girl girl
Who put the mouth in all the things you say?
Hey little puppet girl
Now it's time to sing and dance
We build your reputation
to fade away the very day
You cut, cut, cut, cut, cut your string
I looked in the office mirror
And I saw that our faces matched
I looked at their offer
and I saw the strings attached
They said that any girl
would be impressed but still
It's better than being tied
to the kitchen sink
or stuck at the checkout till
I ran out screaming
and of course it commenced to rain
My ears were ringing
and my cheeks were tear-stained
Then her words came back to me
She said: "judge me if you dare"
"When I look in the mirror
I don't see a puppet
I see a millionaire"
Hey little puppet girl
Now it's time to sing and dance
We'll ruin your reputation
on the day you break away
And try to cut, cut, cut, cut, cut your string
Hey there little puppet girl
Hey there... cut, cut, cut, cut, cut it!
