Warden saw my puppet glove
Why he took it I don't know
Guess he don't know what it's for
Or why I need it so

Confiscated puppet glove
Has a hole I need to mend
Tell the man that he's not playing fair (not playing fair)
To take away my only friend

I tried for nights (for nights) to talk to walls (to walls)
Can't overcome the pain
I have to pretend (pretend) my puppet, my friend
Will be back (will be back) on my hand (on my hand) once again
(Will be back on my hand once again)

Gotta get me, get me, get me keys
Now that push has come to shove
Have to hide until I can get them
Cause I need my puppet glove

Cellmate don't you, don't you, don't you tease
Cause I'm hiding in the tub
And you know you'd better not tell them
Cause I need my puppet glove

Now I need my puppet glove
How I need my puppet glove (need my puppet glove)
Course I need my puppet glove
Yes I need my puppet glove
