I'm Your Marionette

There's a tale that has been told
Of a dancing puppet that was old
So the owner threw it away
Then a little girl came by
Picked it up and said my my my
I'd like to take you home if I may

Once that she had got it home
And was in her bedroom all alone
She put together all its broken parts
Then and there to her delight
Magic happened on that night
That brought so much joy to her heart

I am Jeanette
And I'm your marionette
She sung as she pulled her strings
If you pull them left and right
Tonight and every night
For you I will dance and sing

But be gentle when you hold me
And with the strings that control me
As I am fragile and I might break
You came and rescued me
And gave a loving home to me
I was asleep now I'm awake

I am Jeanette
And I'm your marionette
She sung as she pulled her strings
If you pull them left and right
Tonight and every night
For you I will dance and sing

But be gentle when you hold me
And with the strings that control me
As I am fragile and I might break
You came and rescued me
And gave a loving home to me
I was asleep now I'm awake

I am Jeanette
And I'm your marionette
She sung as she pulled her strings
If you pull them left and right
Tonight and every night
For you I will dance and sing
