I was your puppet, and you my puppeteer I knew no other comfort than the one that was here You pulled my strings this way and that You brushed my hair underneath my hat I sang when you said I danced at your cue I even balanced on your head I would do anything for you But now you are gone You have cut my strings You left me timid as a fawn But at least I had your rings As I grew, I became more brave There was one thing I had come to crave I was glad I still had your rings So that I could buy myself a set of strings I may have started out the runt But now I'm the leader of the hunt Yes those are howls you hear For you are my puppet, and I your puppeteer

Puppeteer
I was your puppet, and you my puppeteer I knew no other comfort than the one that was here You pulled my strings this way and that You brushed my hair underneath my hat I sang when you said I danced at your cue I even balanced on your head I would do anything for you But now you are gone You have cut my strings You left me timid as a fawn But at least I had your rings As I grew, I became more brave There was one thing I had come to crave I was glad I still had your rings So that I could buy myself a set of strings I may have started out the runt But now I'm the leader of the hunt Yes those are howls you hear For you are my puppet, and I your puppeteer
