head.

She'd speak of lessons she had learned,

Important wisdom passed along.

Then she'd stand in my shadowed room
F G C
And sing this little song.

Never trust a puppet,

puppets are un--true.

No matter what the puppet says,

he don't care bout' you.

Never trust a puppet,

what you whisper in a puppets ear.

When I was a young girl,

I got a puppet for my birth-day.

and taking things that didn't belong to it.

Never trust a puppet,

my aunt had a little lamb puppet.

with the puppet on her hand.
Screaming..
C G
Never trust a puppet,
Am F
puppets are un--true.

No matter what the puppet says,
