In a town called
Albequerque
lived a most
concerned young boy
He said lately
I have no place
Folks don't live
with peace and joy
We've found some
worries in 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 live in fear
He thought that
maybe they'd listen to
a puppet telling
them what to do
And 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 called
out young Abe Lincoln
He would teach
them civil rights
Then a king
named Martin Luther
So they'd recall
his peaceful fights
Old Mark Twain
his will 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 live in fear
He thought that
maybe they'd listen to
a puppet telling
them what to do
And 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
love's open past
And held in his
own puppet theater
Got out the
spot lights
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 live in fear
He thought that
maybe they'd listen to
a puppet telling
them what to do
And 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
The young new
Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people
all live in fear
He thought that
maybe they'd listen to
a puppet telling
them what to do
And 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
Oh...... yeah
Oh yeah
Mmm yeah
