Jewish puppets did not choose
Puppet vultures eat the dead
Puppet corpses they are fed
Puppet winds and puppet waves
Puppet sailors in their graves

Puppet fire, puppet flames
Feed on all the puppet names
Puppet lovers in their bliss

Puppet German, puppet Jew
Puppet presidents command
Puppet troops to burn the land
Puppet fire, puppet flames
Feed on all the puppet names
Puppet night comes down to play
The after-act to puppet day
