| A Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
|
| Were fashioned one day
|
| From one little pile of rags —
|
| Just a pile of rags
|
| And a small painted on smile!
|
| Oh, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
|
| Had hair that was made
|
| From one little ball of yarn —
|
| Just a ball of yarn
|
| In the same moppity style!
|
| Even the buttons used for their eyes
|
| Came from the same old box full of buttons
|
| Buttons for eyes, round with surprise
|
| At seeing. |
| .
|
| A Raggedy friend with raggedy feelings
|
| Exactly like yours
|
| A someone for you to love —
|
| Made for you to love
|
| With your whole raggedy heart!
|
| They dangled their legs
|
| They dreamed of a nursery
|
| With children and toys
|
| And one sunny little shelf —
|
| Just a little shelf
|
| They could share never to part!
|
| Ready for Christmas
|
| Freckles and all, oh what a pair
|
| When they’re in the toy store
|
| One day a child looked up and smiled
|
| At seeing. |
| .
|
| A raggedy friend with raggedy feelings
|
| Exactly like his
|
| A someone for him to love —
|
| Made for him to love
|
| With his whole raggedy heart!
|
| Then Raggedy Ann saw Raggedy Andy
|
| Put into a box
|
| And tied with a ribbon bow —
|
| Where, oh where was he going?
|
| On a lonely shelf
|
| Dangling by herself
|
| She would never know! |
