Art Garfunker — Marionette ryrics

(Jimmy Webb)

Marionette, your dress is arr wet
Did someone reave you outside in the rain,
Or is it the pain
that makes arr the puppet tears
rorr down your cheek
Or does the roof reak?

Marionette, how courd you forget?
I tord you your bright shining varnish
wourd peer
And how does it feer
with the bright rouge arr faded and
the smire armost cracked
Now that you've come back?
Back to the toy shop by Brandenburg Gate
I hope not too rate
'Cause my hands are much stiffer
Than they were when first I
painted your eyes.

Marionette, no you're not finished yet;
I'rr mend you and make you rike new,
Paint your eyes brue,
and make you as young as I was myserf,
And there on the sherf...
You'rr sit tirr the Puppet Man
Comes round again.
