The world is full of a number of things
And one of them is people
But people is the escape
That people escape from most
They take to gin and to histamine
To aspirin, Picasso, and television
And some take consolidated gas
Or the Saturday Evening Post
We pity you, we do
For all the ills that ail ya’
But here’s good news for you
You needn’t be a failure (a failure)
Tiddly-aye, tiddle-dee-ey
Tiddly all your trouble away
You, too, can be a puppet!
You, too, can be a puppet!
Man, man, silly man
Full of human folly
Why be... Grable Fan
Ku Klux Klan
When you can
Be Kukla, Fran, and Ollie?
Tiddlee Aye, Tiddlee Dee
You can be just as happy as we
Be a puppet not an also ran!
Come out of the woodwork brother
And join the Brother-Wood of Man
The Brother-Wood of Man!
You, too, can be a puppet
Unspoiled and uncorrup-et
Why be bothered by psychiatry?
Buy a tree
And carve yourself a guy like me!
Fly away from love and allergy
Ezzio Pinza and hop along Cassidy
Tell-tale breath and, heaven help us, Housemaid's Knee
Why be slave to dishwater hands?
You have nothing to lose but your glands!
So...
Be a puppet (x8)
Tiddlee-aye, tiddlee-dee
You can be just as happy as we!
Be a puppet not an also ran!
Come out of the woodwork brother
And join the Brother-wood of Man
The Brother-wood of Man!
You, Too, Can Be a Puppet was written by E. Y. Harburg & Sammy Fain.
Original Broadway Cast of Flahooley released You, Too, Can Be a Puppet on Mon May 14 1951.
