Wake up puppet boy!
Get up puppet boy
you got a job to do
even so you're free to go
where your master tells you to
Listen puppet boy
before you disobey
consider that the strings attached
could make a big change in your ways
Puppet boy
it's the little things that count
little problems little minds
little points of view
puppet boy
it's the little things add up
getting bigger pull the trigger
little things like you
Stand up puppet boy
time to start the show
you'd better do some brand new moves
they paid a lot to watch you go
No!
what's that puppet boy
don't tell me what to do
what's that puppet boy
i'm not a freak like you
what's that puppet boy
i'll move when i want to
i can't hear you puppet boy
now dance dance dance
Stay out of bed
unless you wanna get wet
i'm a boy not a toy
and i'm not through yet
stay out of bed
unless you wanna get wet
now wake up puppet boy
Listen puppet boy
you're not a robot slave
consider that no strings attached
could ever make you misbehave
Puppet boy
it's the little things in life
little problems little minds
little points of view
puppet boy
it's the little things that count
getting bigger pull the trigger
little things like you
Now wake up puppet boy
