Why Can't I Be You?
Five days a week I watch the tube
Five nights a week I'm waching radar
Easy Job with nothing much to do
Waiting in my air conditioned office
Down a thousand feet below the sand
Looking at the lines upon my finger
Thinking of the power in my hand
Chorus
If I do my job my job is over
If I start my day my days are through
If I set to work my work is over
Soon as I begin we'll all be through
I'm the nightshift watchman
I'm the nightshift watchman
Watching for some movement in the heavens
Duets for One
Linden Oldham & Dan Penn
Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet
I'll be yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet
Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet
Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet
I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet
Pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song, I'm your puppet
Make me do right or make me do wrong, I'm your puppet
Treat me good and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet an you hold my string, I'm your puppet
Yeah, I'm your puppet
Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string girl, I'll do anything now
I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet, and I love you
I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
Even make you happy when you're feeling blue
