    RAGGEDY GIRL

    There's a raggedy girl in raggedy clothes

    With snarly hair and a runny nose

    And she lives in a raggedy person's kind of place.

    We're both of us about the same size.

    We've both got bangs and dark brown eyes.

    We've both got freckles polka-dotting our face.

    But I go home to cookies and milk,

    And a cozy comforter soft as silk,

    And she goes where it's scary and sad to be.

    Is this an accident? Was it planned?

    Can somebody help me understand

    Why the raggedy girl should be her,

    And I should be me?

    RAGGEDY GIRL

    There’s a raggedy girl in raggedy clothes

    With snarly hair and a runny nose

    And she lives in a raggedy person’s kind of place.

    We’re both of us about the same size.

    We’ve both got bangs and dark brown eyes.

    We’ve both got freckles polka-dotting our face.

    But I go home to cookies and milk,

    And a cozy comforter soft as silk,

    And she goes where it’s scary and sad to be.

    Is this an accident? Was it planned?

    Can somebody help me understand

    Why the raggedy girl should be her,

    And I should be me?
