[Verse 1]
So many years ago, many more than I'd
Even care to bear in my mind
From the darkest of all places I found you
All the limbs in their right places
And a heart made of real gold
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind

[Refrain]
Every night I returned to watch them
The master and the puppet in the show
He said, "Oh, no, I cannot sell him
Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine"

[Verse 2]
Please, sell me your puppet, sir
Name your price, oh please
Whatever you may ask, tenfold the price I pay
"Did I not make it clear?
This debate is over
I will never part from this puppet, my son"

[Refrain]
With hungry eyes I followed them all night
The blind master and the puppet he had made
"No, sir, to sell is not my will"
The doll is mine, even if I have to kill
So it shall be if this is what it takes
"Oh, greed's truly blinder than me
Heart of gold is what you wish for?
So, this little boy wants to be a puppet, for real"
