Hey Babette!

[BABETTE]
Who are you?

[ANN]
Um, my name is Raggedy Ann, and this is my brother, Raggedy Andy

[BABETTE]
Where am I?

[ANDY]
You're in the playroom, that's where. You'll probably love it

[BABETTE]
Ooooh, la, la, la, la. What am I doing in such a terrible place?

[ANN]
But you're going to love it here with us!

[BABETTE]
What are you?

[ANN]
We're dolls, like you
ALL OF US LIVE IN THE NURSERY
ALL OF US DIFFERENT AS WE CAN BE
SOME OF US PLUMP, SOME OF US THIN
SOME WHO ARE SAD AND SOME WHO ALWAYS GRIN

[CAPTAIN]

[ANN]
EVERYONE HERE TO WELCOME YOU
AND ALL I WANT TO SAY IS REALLY SIMPLE, PLAIN AND TRUE

[BABETTE]
Who are you?

[ANN]
I’M JUST A RAG DOLLY, HAPPY AND SMILIN’ ALL DAY
A LITTLE RAG DOLLY, WISHING YOUR WORRIES AWAY
I STOP AND SAY, “GOLLY, THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
A LITTLE RAG DOLLY, PLAIN AS CAN BE, HAS A FRIEND WHO’S AS LOVELY AS YOU.”

[CAPTAIN]

[ANDY]
SHE’S JUST A RAG DOLLY, HAPPY AND SMILIN’ ALL DAY
A LOVEY RAG DOLLY, WISHIN’ YOUR WORRIES AWAY
AND I GET SO JOLLY, KNOWING IT’S FUNNY BUT TRUE
A LITTLE RAG DOLLY, SWEET AS CAN BE, COULD BE FRIENDS WITH A DOLLY LIKE YOU

SHE’S JUST A RAG DOLLY, HAPPY AND SMILIN’ ALL DAY
A LITTLE RAG DOLLY, WISHIN’ YOUR WORRIES AWAY
AND WE SAY, “OH GOLLY, THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
A LOVEY RAG DOLLY, SWEET AS CAN BE, HAS A FRIEND WHO’S AS LOVELY AS YOU.”
