Tea Party Theme Song?
Going through some old CDs and came across this cut from 10,000 Maniacs' "Blind Man's Zoo". It's a perfect theme song for the Tea Party Puppets.

For the bandwidth challenged.........

You Happy Puppet

How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
How did you learn everything that comes along with slavish funnery?
Tell me something, if the world is so insane,
Is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?

How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
How do you manage to live inside this tiny stage you can't leave?
Tell me something, if the world is so insane,
Is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?

A dullard strung on the wire.
When the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless.
How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?
How do you manage to speak, your mouth a frozen grin?

A dullard strung on the wire.
When the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless.

Tell me something, if the world is so insane,
Is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your empty wooden head?

Your hollow head, your marble eyes, your wooden hands and your metal jaw pins
All wait in limbo for the man who knows how to move you this way.

2. Thank you
I've been lurking for a while but it's time to move from sitting on the side lines to getting muddy.

Thanks for the welcome!

3. You accidentally linked "To Sir with Love"
I think this is what you intended....

Welcome to DU and don't let the occasional tussles and mud distract you from the reason we're all here! :)
