Puppet Girl - Wendy James

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!
