Lyrics

You say hop and I hop
You say drop and I drop
You say stop and I stop
Anything you say I’m not gonna play

I’m just like putty
Putty in your hands ah-ah

At the wave of your hand
(Putty putty putty putty)
I’m your slave to command
(Putty putty putty putty)
And I gladly obey
(Putty putty putty putty)
Anything you say I’m not gonna play

I’m just like putty, putty in your hands ah-ah

You can stretch me ’till I’m ten feet tall
or mould me down to the size of a rubberball
You can use me, abuse me, but don’t refuse me
Without your love I ain’t nothing at all

They say I’m a fool
(Putty putty putty putty)
‘cos you treat me so cool
(Putty putty putty putty)
Ands I go on/all this way
(Putty putty putty putty)
Anything you say I’m not gonna play

I’m just like putty, putty in your hands ah-ah

You can stretch me ’till I’m ten feet tall
or mould me down to the size of a rubberball
You can use me, abuse me, but don’t refuse me
Without your love I ain’t nothing at all

They say I’m a fool
(Putty putty putty putty)
‘cos you treat me so cool
(Putty putty putty putty)
Ands I go on this way
(Putty putty putty putty)
I’m not gonna play

I’m just like putty, putty in your hands ah-ah
ah-ah
I’m just like putty, putty in your hands ah-ah
ah-ah
I’m just like putty, putty in your hands ah-ah
I’m just like putty, putty in your hands ah-ah

ah-ah
ah-ah
ah-ah
