  • You say hop and I'll hop,
    You say stop and I'll stop,
    You say come and I come,
    Oh anything you say I'm like a hunk of clay.
    I'm just like putty,
    Putty in your hands ah-ah,
    Well ah-ah.

    With one wave of your hand,
    I'm your slave to command,
    But I'm glad it's OK,
    Oh anything you say I'm like a hunk of clay.
    I'm just like putty,
    Putty in your hands ah-ah,
    Well ah-ah.

    You can stretch me until I'm ten feet tall,
    Or cut me down to the size of a rubber ball.
    You can use me, abuse me, but never remove me,
    Without your love I ain't nothing at all.
    Oh well ah.

    They say I'm a fool,
    'Cause you treat me so cruel,
    But I'll go on this way.
    Oh anything you say I'm like a hunk of clay.
    I'm just like putty,
    Putty in your hands ah-ah,
    Oh ah-ah.

    You can stretch me until I'm ten feet tall,
    Or cut me down to the size of a rubber ball.
    You can use me, abuse me, but never refuse me,
    Without your love I ain't nothing at all.
    Oh well ah.

    They say I'm a fool,
    'Cause you treat me so cruel,
    But I'll go on this way,
    Oh anything you say I'm like a hunk of clay.
    I'm just like putty,
    Putty in your hands ah-ah,
    Well ah-ah.

    I'm just like putty,
    Putty in your hands ah-ah,
    Well ah-ah.

    I'm just like putty,
    Putty in your hands ah-ah,
    Well ah-ah. Writer/s: Eddie Snyder, John Patton, Kay Rogers
