Gapetto (Pinocchio)

(Verse 1)

He’s a big boy with a childish grin,

Likes to think he’s cute and that all the girls he’d win,

But despite what he shows,

He’s got Pinocchios nose,

And with every word he speaks,

It gets longer and longer till it’s down to his shaking knees.

(Chorus)

Japetto, Japetto,

Let me say this real slow,

Why did you let your puppet go?

He’s scaring the girls,

With his nose.

Japetto, Japetto,

What did you do with Pinocchio?

Why is he so psycho though?

He’s so keen to be a real boy,

To make all the girls his toy,

Japetto, Japetto.

(Verse 2)

He lures all the girls to his caravan,

Says he’s spoken to a cricket that will make him a real man,

He gives them all a drink mixed with fairy dust as garnish,

Tells them to hush, soon the drink will work its magic.

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge)

One, two, three,

He’s counting more than sheep.

They come in one by one,

Through the door of Japettos son,

His finest creation,

A puppet with a fixation,

That he hides in the basement.

A mass cremation (whispered)

(Repeat chorus)
