Refrain:
Charms for children.
Ghost guests.
Come to life,
Marionettes!
Refrain
Dance, dance, check yourself at the door.
Lose yourself among the crowd, wander on the floor.
Dance, dance, this is what you get.
Dance, dance, just like Marionettes!
Refrain
Dance, dance, life’s a funny little game,
so many people so much the same.
Dance, dance, take a safe bet.
Dance, dance, just like Marionettes! Ah!
Refrain
Marionettes…
Dance, dance, caught in the wind.
Blown around against your will from beginning to end.
Dance, dance, safer to forget.
Dance, dance, just like Marionettes! Ow!
Refrain
Dance, dancing away borrowed time.
You do that dance, I do mine.
Dance, dance, working up a sweat.
Dance, dance, just like Marionettes! Oh!
Refrain
