You've Got a Muttering Dummy

This spins "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" by Judas Priest into some questionable constructive criticism for a ventriloquist.

When time is right, you gotta pick it up
Wide painted eyes, I said eyes of a fine puppet
Stand out, polish up the monocle
Time for puppet talk is on as the curtains call

You know you play the part well and you surely have the charm
When you move it's mouth, I don't even wonder where's your arm
But I've hard truth for you, don't let it make you sad
When you speak without your mouth you're bad
You've got a muttering dummy, you've got a muttering dummy

That's right, here's how your talking is
This isn't an act, your puppet accent's limp
Try hard, I'll tell you where it's not
Your enunciation stumbles on that puppet talk

You know you flaunt the fashion of the puppeteer supreme
If you think this gig is easy then you're living in a dream
I've hard truth for you, don't let it make you sad
When you speak without your mouth you're bad
You've got a muttering dummy, muh-muh-muh muttering dummy
You've got a muttering dummy

Persevere, oh puppeteer, you have no cause for sorrow
Shut your mouth and practice hard, you'll speak more clear tomorrow

Work it out, no time to take a rest, yeah
Act up, arise ventriloquist
Puppet talk, gotta have coherency
Then you're a big smash, hit 'em with that puppet speak, yeah

When your puppet's crying out and critics make you sigh
Take down the doubting fools, break out a case of little guy
Til that day arrives, don't let it make you sad
When you speak without your mouth you're bad
You've got a muttering dummy, muh-muh-muh muttering dummy

You've got a muttering dummy, you've got a muttering, uh
Dummy mumble!
You've got a muttering dummy, hey you, you mumble out
(Muh, tur, ring) You've got a muttering dummy
Ooh, ooh, you mumble out
(Muh, tur, ring) Muh-muh-muh muttering dummy
You've got a muttering dummy, muh-muh-muh mumble out
(Muh, tur, ring) You've got a muttering dummy
