I'm Your Puppet - James & Bobby Purify (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
I'm Your Puppet (James & Bobby Purify, 1966). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI.
2024-04-07. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"I'm Your Puppet ," written by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, was the Purify cousins' (James Purify and Robert "Bobby" Lee Dickey) first entry onto the Billboard Hot 100 and only top 10 hit rising to no. 6 on the chart in 1966 (Whitburn, 2013). Funny that Bobby Dickey eventually hated the song. Dickey recalled in The Tallahassee Democrat in 2000 "that he despised singing the song. 'I hated it,' he said. 'It was originally intended to be the B-side. But things got changed ... I sang it for 23 hours straight (in the studio), that's why I hate it'" (songfacts, 2024). The Purfiy's recording was nominated for the 1967 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals (awardsandshows, 2024).

Lyrics:
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, mm
I'm yours to have and to hold
Darling, you've got full control
I'm your puppet
Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips
I'm your puppet
Snap your fingers and I'll turn you some flips
I'm your puppet
Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is just 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 and you hold my string,
I'm your puppet
I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string, I'll do anything
I'm your puppet
