I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime

You may not be an anges
'Cause angels are so few
But until the day
That one comes along
I'll string along with you

(Harry Warren/Al Dubin)

Whoops, obviously the first line should read:

"You may not be an angel"

That's what I get for typing too fast!

some kind of alien
waits for the opening
simply pulls the string

Love Comes Walkin' In ~ Van Halen

I got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger...
What a world!
What a life!
I'm in love!

(Styne/Cahn, notably sung by Frank Sinatra)

I know now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy nor a puppet on a string

Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things

This G-string, I'll have you know,
Has never been to a burlesque show.

--From a teaching song that tells what key each string of a guitar is tuned to.

I just wanna be your everything
open up the heaven in your heart
and let me be
the things you are to me
and not some puppet on a string...

---Andy Gibb

I'd need some drums to set the beat,
And help me keep in time.
And way back in the distance,
Some strings would sound so fine.

. . . .
But in real life I'm stuck with
That same old formula,
Me and my monophonic symphony,
Six string orchestra.

--"Six String Orchestra," Harry Chapin

When you see me in your mailbox
Cut the strings and let me out

You don't feel anything
You're a boy on a string

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff.

--"Puff the Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul, and Mary
