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

Rag Dolly 1984 Premiere Soundtrack

1984

[POPPA]
You know, dolls do come alive. Every night
[MARCELLA]
When?
[POPPA]
When the little mother- that’s you- is asleep. They carry on like crazy! Everybody knows that. But if you don’t sleep they don’t carry on they just stay in their box. They all live in that rag box
[MARCELLA]
Who all?
[POPPA]
Raggedy Ann’s friends, I don’t know who all
WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP
THEN THEY WAKE UP
AND CARRY ON
[MARCELLA]
CARRY ON
[POPPA]
THE NIGHT IS DEEP
THEY POP RIGHT UP
AND CARRY ON
[MARCELLA]
CARRY ON
[POPPA]
WHEN ALL THE WORLD SEEMS QUIET
IT'S SOME PHENOMENON
THEY CARRY ON
[MARCELLA]
CARRY ON
[POPPA]
THEY CARRY ON
(spoken)
Here. heart and all. Hey, you hear what she just said?
[MARCELLA]
What?
[POPPA] (pretending to be Ann)
"Go to sleep you little dumbell, your old man'll tell you all my adventures tomorrow."
[MARCELLA]
What adventures?
[POPPA]
How do I know what adventures? - go to sleep I'll find out. You gotta sleep, kid. Only thing they said makes sense -
Tell mе - one advent - ure
[POPPA]
WHEN TROUBLE’S THERE
THEN YOU STAND UP
AND CARRY ON
IT ISN’T FAIR
BUT YOU STAND UP
AND CARRY ON
WHEN WHAT YOU EVER CARED FOR
AND ALL YOUR LOVE'S HALF GONE
