Petunia-Liebling MacPumpkin - The Marionettes Lyrics

This is the story of the time I was lucky enough to see the marionettes in their grand formation

It's a curio for me
It's a curio to see
When the marionettes take stance
Yes a curio indeed
If you'd seen it, you'd agreed
When they start their menacing dance

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 marionettes in a row
7, 8, 9, 10 in a line, dancing to and fro
It was movement so elite
So I found myself a seat
To enjoy the grand scale show

The marionettes are beautiful
With old-world style and grace
The marionettes are beautiful
With the detailed painted face
My love goes out to the marionettes
Though a curio for me to see
The death-march of the marionettes
All in grand choreography

Though they may cause one alarm
They won't do me any harm
For they know to read my soul
They are burning with a rage
For they've been locked in a cage
And they're dying to take their toll

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 marionettes in a row
7, 8, 9, 10 in a line, dancing to and fro
It was movement so elite
So I thought I'd be discreet
And I asked a sweet Pierrot

He said: Pray now if you get a glance
Of their animated dance
Consider yourself in grace
For only privileged few
Including me and you
Have ever come face to face!

Then he took me in his arms
In his parasol of charms
And I think I fell in love
But I cannot say for sure
Tricks are played of old amour
By the gleaming moon up above
