The wonderful Jan and Dean had a hit with their great song “Poor Little Puppet.”

Am I the only one who thought this duo sang “licks” instead of “pulls?” It kinda changes the meaning a bit, makes it racier in fact. And honestly, wouldn’t you think a beautiful woman licking her finger at you is a pretty strong sign? Can you blame the man who sees the finger-licking good sign and becomes her puppet?

Here are the real lyrics:

Poor little puppet, she’s got him tied to a string
That poor little thing, he does what she wants
Every time she pulls her finger
Poor little puppet
