A dancing puppet on a string
Goes up and down, up and down
Like a water-drinking birdie thing
Up and down, up and down

The world's a nasty merry go round
Up and down, up and down
The merry tune's a hollow sound
Up and down, up and down

Knock the toy back in the hole
Up and down, up and down
Stupid thing comes back for more
Up and down, up and down


Penned by my hand on the 21st of Phaestian, in the year 743 AF.
