Lyrics
Young New Mexican Puppeteer

In a town near Albequerqe lived a most concerned young boy
He said lately I have noticed folks don't live with peace and joy
With frowns and worries in their faces they're lost and don't know where to go
I'll try to get the people straightened by putting on a puppet show
The young New Mexican puppeteer he saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they'd listen to a puppet telling them what to do
He got some string and he got some wood he did some carving and he was good
And folks came running so they could hear the young New Mexican puppeteer
First he carved out young Abe Lincoln Abe will teach them civil rights
Then a king named Martin Luther so they'd recall his peacefull fight
Old Mark Twain his wit and wisdom will surely show them life is fun
But he smiled with satisfaction when the prince of peace was done
Now his puppet shows were clever and he made the people laugh
And they wrote him up in all the papers and this is what the story said
The young New Mexican puppeteer...
The young New Mexican puppeteer...
