Jack: This place looks like a mansion
It's like a mansion look at all this stuff!
Meg: I don't know
Jack: Look I see somethin over there
Meg: Whoo!
Jack: Man
Jack:
Well can't ya hear me sellin rag and bone
Bring out your junk and we'll give it a home
A broken trumpet or a telephone
A c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and give it to me!
Yeahhh!
A c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and give it to me!
Rag and bone, rag and bone
A c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and give it to me!
All of ya pretty, ya pretty little rags and bones
Jack:
Ah man look at all this
You don't want em?
You sure you dont want em?
It's just things you don't want I can use em
Meg can use em
We can do somethin with em
We'll make somethin out of em
Meg: mm hmmm
Jack: Make some money out of them at least
Meg: This fits me perfect
Give it to me
Jack: Hey, if you ain't gunna use it just give it to us
We'll give it a home
Well, have they got somethin shiny for me?
Anybody got a Christmas tree
Can you part with a toilet seat?
A jump up, jump up, jump up, c'mon and give it to me
Rag and bone
We wanna get it baby while it hot
You think it's trash baby but it's not
We'll be takin whatever you got
A give up, give up, give up, c'mon and give it to me
All of ya pretty, ya pretty little rags and bones
Meg: I saw some stuff in here, are you gunna give it to us?
Jack: Oh Meg, don't be rude
Meg: Or not..
Jack: They might need it
If you don't want it we'll take it
If you don't wanna give it to us we'll keep walkin by
Keep goin we ain't tired but we got plenty of places to go
Lots of homes we ain't been to yet
On the westside, southwest side, middle east, rich house
Dog house, out house, old folks house, house for unwed mothers
Halfway homes, caddacombs, twilight zones, lookin for technics
Turntables to Gramaphones.
So take a last lick of your ice cream cone
And lock up what you still wanna own
But please be kind
Meg: Take your time
Jack: And don't rewind
Meg: Everythings fine
Jack:
All of ya pretty, ya pretty little rags and bones
Yeah!
ya pretty little rags and bones
A jump up, jump up, jump up, c'mon and give it to me
Awwohhh
ya pretty little rags and bones
Both: A c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and give it to us!
Jack:
Yeah
EhhhAA

Jack: Yeah!
Meg: Yeah!
Both: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
