Lyrics

[Intro]
Rag and bone
Rag and bone
Rag and bone
Rag and bone, Meg, look at this place
What? Ooh...
Well, this place is like a mansion, it's like a mansion, look at all this stuff
I don't know
Look, I see something over there
Ooh
Man
[Verse 1]
Well, can't you hear us yelling "rag and bone"?
Bring out your junk and we'll give it a home
A broken trumpet or a telephone
A-come on, a-come on, a-come on, come on and give it to me
Yeah
[Chorus]
A-come on, a-come on, a-come on, come on and give it to me
Rag and bone, rag and bone
A-come on, a-come on, a-come on, come on and give it to me
All of your pretty, your pretty little rags and bones
[Verse 2]
Well, man, look at all this, you don't want it?
Ooh, I could use that
You sure you don't want it, man? I could use it
Take it, it's just things that you don't want, I can use 'em, Meg can use 'em
We can do something with 'em, we'll make something out of 'em
Make some money out of 'em at least
This fits me perfect
Give it to me
Hey, if you ain't gonna use it, just give it to us, we'll give it a home
[Verse 3]
Well, have they got something shiny for me?
Anybody got a Christmas tree?
Can you part with a toilet seat?
A-jump up, a-jump up, a-jump up, come on and give it to me
[Chorus]
Rag and bone
[Verse 4]
We wanna get it, Granny, while it's hot
You think it's trash, Granny, but it's not
A-we'll be taking whatever you got
A-give up, a-give up, a-give up, come on and give it to me
[Chorus]
All of your pretty, your pretty little rags and bones
[Verse 5]
I saw some stuff in your yard, are you going to give it to us?
Aw, Meg, don't be rude
Or not?
They might need it, if you don't want it, we'll take it, if you don't want to give it to us, we keep walking by
We keep going, we're not tired, but got plenty of places to go, lots of homes we ain't been to yet
On the west side, the southwest side, Middle East, rich house, dog house, outhouse, old folks house
House for unwed mothers, halfway homes, catacombs, twilight zones
Looking for Technics turntables to gramophones
So take a last lick of your ice cream cone
And lock up what you still want to own, but please be kind
Take your time
And don't rewind
That's fine
All of your pretty, your pretty little rags and bones
Yeah
Your pretty little rags and bones
[Chorus]
A-jump up, a-jump up, a-jump up, come on and give it to me
Oh, your pretty little rags and bones
A-come on, a-come on, a-come on, come on and give it to us
Yeah, yeah, ah yeah
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
