Marionettes


Marionettes Sophie Dunér © 2004

Marionettes are good to have in bed.

Marionettes are good as long as they’re in your head;

They lift you up, they put you down:

Like a puppet theatre going round and round.

Muppets and puppets and guys and dolls –

Don’t let them push you around.

Rainbows and moonbeams and elves and trolls –

Don’t let them mess around with your mind.

Marionettes are good to have in bed.

Marionettes are good as long as they’re in your head –

They hang you up, they hang you down

Like a puppet theatre going round and round.

Muppets and puppets, and guys and dolls –

Don’t let them push you around

Rainbows and moonbeams and elves and trolls –

Don’t let them mess with your mind.

Marionettes are happy to turn you down –

Marionettes are happy if they twist your head around..

They make you smile, they make you cry.

Up like a star, then you go down like the sun

Muppets and puppets and guys and dolls –

All of them standing in a line.

Rainbows and moonbeams, and elves and trolls –

Don’t let them mess with your mind.

Mari Mari Marionette, never will I marry a

Marionette –

Marionette!
