Rag and Bone Songtext
von The White Stripes

Mmm
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

Well, can′t you hear me selling 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


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

Well, man, look at all this, you don't want it?
I can use that
You sure you don′t want it, man?
I can use... 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


Well, I heard you′ve 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
Rag and bone

We wanna get it, Granny, while it's hot
You think it′s trash, Granny, but it's not
We′ll be takin' whatever you got
A-give up, a-give up, a-give up
Come on and give it to me
Whoo!

All of your pretty, your pretty little rags and bones

I saw some stuff in your yard, are you going to give it to us
Ah, 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 home 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

Lookin' for techniques, 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
A-jump up, a-jump up, a-jump up
Come on and give it to me

Ah, ah, oh, your pretty little rags and bones
A-come on, a-come on, a-come on
Come on and give it to us
Yeah, ′eah, 'eah
Ah, yeah
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
