作曲 : Leon N. Carr & Earl S. Shuman | |
In a town near Albuquerque | |
Lived a most concerned young boy | |
He said lately I have noticed | |
Folks don't live with peace and joy | |
With frowns and worry on their faces | |
They're lost and don't know where to go | |
He said I'll get the people straightened | |
By putting on a puppet show | |
The young New Mexican puppeteer | |
He saw the people all lived in fear | |
He thought that maybe they'd listen to | |
A puppet telling them what to do | |
You know he got some string and he got some wood | |
He did some carving and he was good | |
And folks came running so they could hear | |
The young New Mexican puppeteer | |
First he carved out young Abe Lincoln | |
Abe will teach 'em civil rights | |
Then a King named Martin Luther | |
So they'd recall his peaceful fight | |
Old Mark Twain, his wit and wisdom | |
Will surely show them life is fun | |
But he smiled with satisfaction | |
When the Prince of Peace was done | |
The young New Mexican puppeteer | |
He saw the people all lived in fear | |
He thought that maybe they'd listen to | |
A puppet telling them what to do | |
You know he got some string and he got some wood | |
He did some carving and he was good | |
And folks came running so they could hear | |
The young New Mexican puppeteer | |
Now his puppet shows were clever | |
And he made the people laugh | |
When he got across the message | |
To walk along life's open path | |
They built him his own puppet theatre | |
Decked out with spotlights yellow and red | |
And then they wrote him up in all the papers | |
And this is what the story said | |
It said... | |
The young New Mexican puppeteer | |
He saw the people all lived in fear | |
He thought that maybe they would listen to | |
A puppet telling them what to do | |
You know he got some string and he got some wood | |
He did some carving and he was good | |
And folks came running so they could hear | |
The young New Mexican puppeteer | |
(repeat) |
