[00:00:00] Written by：Leon N. Carr/Earl S. Shuman

[00:00:07] In a town near Albequerqe

[00:00:13] Lived a most concerned

[00:00:15] Young boy

[00:00:19] He said lately I have noticed

[00:00:24] Folks don't live with

[00:00:26] Peace and joy

[00:00:29] With frowns and worry

[00:00:31] In their faces

[00:00:35] They're lost and don't

[00:00:36] Know where to go

[00:00:41] He said I'll get the

[00:00:42] People straightened

[00:00:46] By putting on a puppet show

[00:00:51] The young New Mexican

[00:00:53] Puppeteer

[00:00:54] He saw the people all

[00:00:55] Lived in fear

[00:00:56] He thought that maybe

[00:00:58] They'd listen to

[00:00:59] A puppet telling them what to do

[00:01:02] You know he got some string

[00:01:03] And he got some wood

[00:01:05] He did some carving

[00:01:06] And he was good

[00:01:07] And folks came running

[00:01:08] So they could hear

[00:01:10] The young New

[00:01:11] Mexican puppeteer

[00:01:22] First he carved out

[00:01:23] Young Abe Lincoln

[00:01:27] Abe will teach 'em civil rights

[00:01:33] Then a king named

[00:01:34] Martin Luther

[00:01:38] So they'd recall

[00:01:39] His peacefull fight

[00:01:44] Old Mark Twain

[00:01:45] His wit and wisdom

[00:01:49] Will surely show

[00:01:50] Them life is fun

[00:01:55] But he smiled with

[00:01:56] Satisfaction

[00:02:00] When the prince

[00:02:01] Of peace was done

[00:02:05] The young New

[00:02:06] Mexican puppeteer

[00:02:08] He saw the people

[00:02:09] All lived in fear

[00:02:11] He thought that

[00:02:11] Maybe they'd listen to

[00:02:13] A puppet telling

[00:02:14] Them what to do

[00:02:16] You know he got some

[00:02:17] String and he got

[00:02:18] Some wood

[00:02:19] He did some carving

[00:02:20] And he was good

[00:02:21] And folks came

[00:02:22] Running so they could hear

[00:02:24] The young New

[00:02:25] Mexican puppeteer

[00:02:37] Now his puppet

[00:02:38] Shows were clever

[00:02:42] And he made the

[00:02:43] People laugh

[00:02:47] When he got

[00:02:49] Across the message

[00:02:53] To walk along lifes

[00:02:55] Open path

[00:02:58] They built him his

[00:03:00] Own puppet theatre

[00:03:04] Decked out with

[00:03:05] Spotlights yellow and red

[00:03:09] And then they wrote him

[00:03:11] Up in all the papers

[00:03:15] And this is what the story said

[00:03:19] It said

[00:03:20] The young New

[00:03:20] Mexican puppeteer

[00:03:22] He saw the people

[00:03:23] All lived in fear
