The Claymation Blues

Well you make me feel like a puppet baby,
mmm-hmmm, but you just won't pull my strang.
You keep me hangin' like some kinda marionette now,
but you, nossir, you just won't do my strang.
Gonna hafta throw my voice at you, shoog,
and let's see the crowd reaction that'll brang.

Seems to me that you're all Gumby
and there's not much Pokey in store for me.
Swan' if it don't seem like you're all Gumby
and ain't murch Pokey in the cards for me.
Gonna put your stop-action butt in real time, hon,
if your effects don't git as special
as I know they can be.

I'm a non-toxic fully-poseable funtime action figure
so twist me, bend me, shape me to your will.
Said I'm a animated anthropomorphic lifelike walkin' figure
now so whip me into shape if that's yo' will.
But I'm getting' tired of this silly posturing
so wrap my wiry limbs around you
if you want my kinda latex thrill.

I got them claymation blues
and this rubber don't feel the way it used to.
I got ye quirky, jerky, spastic elastic claymation blues
and this ol' rubber don't do like it s'posed to do.
So I'm getting' me a doll of inflatable vinyl
'cause you just don't knead me like I need you to.

Love is a flexible thang!
