Annotationen

Siegersong am Concours Eurovision de la Chanson von 1967.
Bob Stanley schreibt von diesem Song, dass er das Template für Europop setzte. «dumber than dumb nursery lyrics, and a backing that sounded as if it was played on a euphonium and a xylophone. Presto. The fabled Eurovision sound. It was all our fault.» (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!: The Story Of Pop Musi, p. 252)

Lyrics

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there Like a puppet on a string Love is just like a merry-go-round With all the fun of the fair One day I'm feeling down on the ground Then I'm up in the air Are you leading me on Tomorrow will you be gone I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there Like a puppet on a string I may win on the round-a-bout Then I'll lose on the swings In or out there is never a doubt Just who's pulling the strings I'm all tied up in you But where's it leading me to I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there Like a puppet on a string I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there Like a puppet on a string Like a puppet on a string
