Blue Lyrics by William Gibson, Joe Raposo, The Premiere Cast of Rag Dolly

Rag Dolly 1984 Premiere Soundtrack

1984

[ANN]
What’s your story?

[THE CAMEL]
That’s my story. Nobody wanted me

[ANN]
Why?

[THE CAMEL]
I have incurable fallen knees. Ugly, aren’t they?

[ANN]
I’ve seen worse

[THE CAMEL]
So? They threw me out

[ANN]
That’s awful! You must have been pretty sad

[THE CAMEL]
Sad?
WHEN YOU CAN'T FIND A FRIEND
AND THE ROAD DOESN'T SEEM TO END
AND YOU'RE LONESOME THE WHOLE DAY THROUGH
HOW CAN YA BE HAPPY?
HOW CAN YA BE SMILIN'?
HOW CAN YA BE ANYTHIN' BUT LOW-DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE?

WHEN THERE'S NOTHIN' TO SHARE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE A DIME TO SPARE
AND THERE'S NO-ONE TO COME FOR YOU
HOW CAN YA BE SMILIN'?
HOW CAN YA BE SINGIN'?
HOW CAN YA BE ANYTHIN' BUT LOW-DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE?

I’VE LOOKED AROUND AND SEEN THE SWEET LIFE EVERYWHERE
I’VE WATCHED THE COOKIE BUSHES SHININ' IN THE SUN
THE SMELL OF SWEET VANILLA LIVING BLOWS IN EVERY BREATH OF AIR
DOESN'T ANYBODY WANT ME?
DOESN'T ANYBODY CARE?

WHEN YOU'RE WRINKLED AND COLD
AND YOUR FORTUNE HAS ALL BEEN TOLD

[RAGGEDY ANN]
AND YOU'RE NOBODY'S "I LOVE YOU"

[THE CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE HAPPY?

[RAGGEDY ANN]
HOW CAN YA BE SMILIN'?

[RAGGEDY ANN & THE CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE ANYTHIN' BUT LOW-DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE?
SAD BUT TRUE

[THE CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE

[RAGGEDY ANN & THE CAMEL]
HAPPY?

[THE CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE

[RAGGEDY ANN & THE CAMEL]
SINGIN'?

[THE CAMEL]
HOW CAN YA BE ANYTHIN' BUT LOW-DOWN SAGGY

[RAGGEDY ANN]
AND RAGBAG-BAGGY

[RAGGEDY ANN & THE CAMEL]
AND BLUE?
