Hey there little puppet girl
How’d you learn to walk that way?
Hey there little puppet girl
Who put the mouth in all the words you say?

Hey little puppet girl
Now it’s time to dance and sing
We built 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

Hey little puppet girl
Now it’s time to dance and sing
We built your reputation to fade away the very day
You cut, cut, cut, cut, cut your string

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 dance and sing
We built your reputation to fade away the very day
You cut, cut, cut, cut, cut your string

Hey there little puppet girl
Hey there little pup-pup-pup-pup-puppet
Hey there little puppet girl
Hey there little pup-pup-pup-pup-puppet
Hey there little puppet girl
Hey there little…cut, cut, cut, cut, cut it
