Elvis Costello - Puppet Girl lyrics

Hey there little puppet girl How d'you learn to talk that way? Hey there little puppet girl girl Who put the mouth in all the things you say? Hey little puppet girl Now it's time to sing and dance We build 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 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 sing and dance We'll ruin your reputation On the day you break away And try to cut, cut, cut, cut, cut your string Hey there little puppet girl Hey there....cut, cut, cut, cut, cut it!
