The Lyrics

he knows he's gonna be bad
he thinks that's OK
his conscience drivin' him mad
he's funny that way
he's got a cricket who chides
he's got a cricket who chi-i-ides
he's got a cricket who chides...and makes him care

the brat was trimmed from a tree
gepetto cut down...yeah
a real boy he yearns to be
yet acts like a clown
he's got a cricket who chides
he's got a cricket who chi-i-ides
he's got a cricket who chides...and makes him care

i sure know why he spies on this guy
he doesn't act nice...he doesn't do right...you see
the cricket warns him that it won't fly
he makes him think twice...he makes him do right...you see

the lad ain't really a cad
he's just lost his way...yeah
gepetto never gets mad
he knows its just play...yeah
he's got a cricket who chides
he's got a cricket who chi-i-ides
he's got a cricket who chides...and makes him care

the boy is gettin' wise by and by
he takes his advice...when he says "no dice"...you see
he's not a paragon, but he tries
he wants to feel like...a true-to-life tyke...you see

the kid's not livin', you see
it brings him a frown...yeah
the fairy said he would be
if he settles down
he's got a cricket who chides
he's got a cricket who chi-i-ides
he's got a cricket who chides...and makes him care

pinocchio cares...pinocchio cares...pinocchio cares
pinocchio cares...pinocchio cares...pinocchio cares

My wife and I bought a copy of the original"Pincchio" story on a recent trip to Italy, so the story is fresh in our minds. The title is a brilliant sound-alike, the key to a good parody, and the words match the original Beatles scan very well. Well done!
