[Intro] (Male voice)
CWhen I was a Gyoung boy,
I'd Amclimb into my bFed.
My Cmother would turn Amoff the light,
and Fpat my little Ghead.
AmShe'd speak of lessons Emshe had learned,
Important Fwisdom Gpassed Calong.
Then she'd Cstand in my Amshadowed room
And Fsing this Glittle Csong.
[Verse 1] (Female/high voice)
CNever trust a Gpuppet,
Ampuppets are unFtrue.
CNo matter what the Ampuppet says,
Fhe don't care 'bout Gyou.
CNever trust a Gpuppet,
Ampuppets are insinFcere.
CSomehow everyAmone finds out,
Fwhat you whisper in a Gpuppet's Cear.
[Bridge 1]
AmWhen I was a Emyoung girl,
I got a Fpuppet Gfor my Cbirthday.
AmWe went everywhere toEmgether,
we Fplayed, and Glaughed, and Csang.
AmBut the puppet started Emlying,
and Ftaking things that Gdidn't belong to Cit.
AmAnd saying inappropriate things at my parents' Emparties.
And one Fnight when I was asleep, the Gpuppet ran away.
[Verse 2]
CNever trust a Gpuppet,
or the Amfeelings that they Fshare.
CThere is something Amnot quite right,
Fin a puppet's Gstare.
CNever give your heart to a Gpuppet,
Amalways stay on your Fguard.
CPuppets will Ambetray you...
FPuppets are Greally Cweird.
[Bridge 2]
AmWhen I was a Emtiny girl,
Fmy aunt had a Glittle lamb Cpuppet.
AmShe'd use it as a Emoven mitt,
and take a hot Fcasserole Gout of the Coven.
AmThen she'd chase me Emaround the house,
with the Fpuppet Gon her Chand.
Screaming...
N.C.
I BURNT MY TONGUE, I BURNT MY TONGUE!"
*long pause*
[Verse 3]
CNever trust a Gpuppet,
Ampuppets are unFtrue.
CNo matter what the Ampuppet says,
Fhe don't Gcare 'bout Cyou.
