I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, 'round and 'round I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown You're so free That's what everybody's telling me Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
