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!
