POPPA
You know, dolls do come alive.

MARCELLA
Ho.

POPPA
Every night

MARCELLA
When?

POPPA
When the little mother— that’s you— is asleep, they carry on like crazy, everybody knows that. Of course, 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—

POPPA
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

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 YOU LOVE'S HALF GONE
YOU CARRY ON

MARCELLA
CARRY ON

POPPA
YOU CARRY ON

MARCELLA
Look!

RAGGEDY ANN
Shh.

MARCELLA
Who’s that?

RAGGEDY ANN
You’ll see.

MARCELLA
I’m scared.

RAGGEDY ANN
It’s only life!

ANDY

IT'S YOUR TURN NOW
CAN'T STAY IN THIS BED FOREVER
THE LIGHT'S GONNA SHINE ON YOU.

THE BEAT IS SO STRONG
COME JOIN THE PARADE
THERE'S SUNSHINE FLOODING SOMEWHERE
WHO NEEDS THE SHADE
IT'S MY TURN NOW
ON MY FEET AND MARCHIN' STEADY

THE LIGHT'S GONNA SHINE
THE LIGHT'S GONNA SHINE ON ME.

ANDY

He’s useless!

CAMEL
I’m useless!

RAGGEDY ANN
Maybe you’ll be of some use. Get in.

ALL
Get in!

RAGGEDY ANN
What’s your story?

CAMEL
That’s my story. Nobody wanted me

RAGGEDY ANN
Why?

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

RAGGEDY ANN
I’ve seen worse.

CAMEL
So they threw me out.

RAGGEDY ANN
That’s awful, you must have been pretty sad.

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 YOU BE HAPPY
HOW CAN YOU BE SMILING
HOW CAN YOU BE ANYTHING
BUT LOW DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE

WHEN THERE'S NOTHING TO SHARE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE A DIME TO SPARE
AND THERE'S NO ONE TO COME FOR YOU
HOW CAN YOU BE SMILING
HOW CAN YOU BE SINGING
HOW CAN YOU BE ANYTHING
BUT LOW DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE

I’VE LOOKED AROUND
AND SEEN THE SWEET LIFE EVERYWHERE
I’VE WATCHED THE COOKIE BUSHES SHINING 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

CAMEL
HOW CAN YOU BE HAPPY

RAGGEDY ANN

RAGGEDY ANN

BABY DOLL
I’m just a baby, I’m supposed to be waited on.

RAGGEDY ANN
And brush the ants off that cloud, we don’t want ant sandwiches.

MOON

MARCELLA
Is this where my wishes come true?

CLOUDS
One or two.

MARCELLA
— I wish I could see Yellow Yum Yum again! She’s singing in a choir! — just like Poppa said—

YELLOW YUM-YUM
LITTLE
MARTYR
IN A GILDED CAGE

RED FANG
KILLED ME
AT AN EARLY AGE

FEATHERS
CHOKED HIM
BUT WE WISH HIM WELL

I FOR-
GIVE HIM
WHERE HE HOWLS, HE HOWLS, HE HOWLS IN HELL

MARCELLA
Oh, I wish Poppa could see this—

POPPA

MARCELLA
Poppa!

POPPA
I’m here. I love you

CLOUDS
He loves you.

POPPA
Having a good trip?

MARCELLA
Oh yes, there’s only one thing missing. I wish I could see—

MOMMY
WOOSH! EAST
WOOSH! WEST
WATCH ME
‘CAUSE I’M A SHOOTING STAR

WOOSH UP
WOOSH BEST

HEY I’M A SHOOTING STAR.

WATCH ME

MARCELLA
Oh, please love her.

POPPA

MARCELLA
Please love him.

MOMMY

I’M A SHOOTING STAR

MARCELLA
Please be married again!

CHORUS
RING OUT THE BELLS
OH HOW WE’VE WAITED
THE MOMENT WE’VE ANTICIPATED

SWEET TEARS OF JOY AND LAUGHTER
AND HAPPY EVER AFTER

MARCELLA
MOM AND YOU
AND ME
WE THREE FOREVER

POPPA, MOMMY, & MARCELLA
WE’LL WALK TOGETHER
ALL LIFE THROUGH NOW
THE WAY THAT WE WERE MEANT TO DO NOW

CLOUDS, POPPA, MOMMY, & MARCELLA
THE LONELY DAYS HAVE ENDED
AND LIFE AT LAST IS MENDED

HAPPY WEDDING DAY

(SIMULTANEOUSLY)

ALL
SOMETHING IN THE AIR
SOMETHING IN THE AIR
SOMETHING IN THE AIR
SAIL ON

RAGGEDY ANN
I got you this far, didn’t I?
I don’t know, Who do I think I am?

FIRST CAME THE LIGHT IN MARCELLA’S ROOM
MAKING THINGS BRIGHT THAT WERE ONLY GLOOM
LEARNING TO LAUGH
LOVE I RECALL
NOW I’M NOT SURE OF WHERE I AM AT ALL—

I'M JUST A RAG DOLLY,
HAPPY AND SMILING ALL DAY
A LITTLE RAG DOLLY,
KEEPIN' IT SIMPLE THAT WAY

I STOP AND SAY GOLLY
HOW COULD IT HAPPEN TO YOU
COULD ONE POOR RAG DOLLY
PLAIN AS CAN BE
REALLY MAKE SOMEONE'S WISHES COME TRUE?

I'M JUST A RAG DOLLY,
LIGHTING A LITTLE GIRL'S DAY
A LITTLE RAG DOLLY
WISHIN' HER WORRIES AWAY
TO ME IT'S REAL FOLLY
COULD I EVER MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT
WHEN I'M A RAG DOLLY,
LOST AS CAN BE
WOND'RIN' HOW I CAN GET THROUGH THE NIGHT.

WE'RE WANDERING WAY TOO FAR
FROM WHERE WE SHOULD BE
AND HOW WE'LL EVER GET THERE'S A MYSTERY.
CAN'T YOU SEE?

I'M JUST A RAG DOLLY
WANTIN' FOR TIMES TO BE GLAD
A LITTLE RAG DOLLY
STARTIN' TO SLIDE INTO SAD
WISH I COULD BE JOLLY
CAREFREE WHEREEVER I ROAM
BUT I'M A RAG DOLLY

WAY DOWN INSIDE
AND MY HEART SAYS I WANNA GO HOME.

BAT
HEY YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST
YOU WON'T BE THE LAST
LOTS OF OTHER SOULS HAVE PASSED MY DOOR
AND YOU NEVER GET AWAY, HEY KID
YOU NEVER GET AWAY (TRUST ME)
CAUSE NO ONE EVER DID BEFORE

YOU'RE A LITTLE YOUNG
AND A TRIFLE GREEN
AND I'VE SEEN SO MANY IT'S A BORE
AND THEY NEVER GET AWAY, HEY SWEETS
THEY NEVER GET AWAY (REALLY)
CAUSE NO ONE EVER DID BEFORE

YOU RUN LIKE CRAZY
'CAUSE YOU'RE FULL OF DREAD
BUT WHAT YOU'RE RUNNING FROM
IS WAITING JUST AHEAD
WELL YOU GOT NO HOPE
NOT A SINGLE PRAYER
IT'S NOT FAIR
BUT THERE'S REAL GRIEF IN STORE

AND YOU NEVER GET AWAY, HONEST
YOU NEVER GET AWAY (GOTCHA)
'CAUSE NO ONE EVER DID BEFORE
NO ONE EVER GOT AWAY BEFORE.

YOU RUN LIKE CRAZY

'CAUSE NO ONE EVER DID BEFORE
NO ONE EVER GOT AWAY BEFORE.

RAGGEDY ANN
Music. Music might do it—

MARCELLA
Oh, what’s the use of music!

PANDA
Music soothes the savage breast.

RAGGEDY ANN
Sure, I mean we can sing him to sleep.

ANDY
Aw, come on—

RAGGEDY ANN
Well, we can try, can’t we? Ask him.

MARCELLA
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE MUSIC?

GENERAL D.
Music?

MARCELLA
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE TUNE?

GENERAL D.
No.

RAGGEDY ANN
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE LULLABY
TO REST YOUR EYE ‘NEATH THE SLEEPY MOON

PANDA
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE
HUM DEE DUM

BABY
DIE DE DIE.

BABY, PANDA, ANN
LIKE MOMMY USED TO CROON.

MARCELLA
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE MUSIC

RAGGEDY ANN
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE TUNE.

GENERAL D.
I hate music!

MARCELLA
Says no.

RAGGEDY ANN
To cheer you up, he likes you.

MARCELLA
To cheer me up? Please—

GENERAL D.
Is it your dying request?

RAGGEDY ANN
Uh huh.

MARCELLA
Uh huh.

CAMEL
I’ll try!

RAGGEDY ANN
Just sing your heart out.

GENERAL D.
Let there be music. What a bore.

CAMEL
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE MUSIC
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE SONG
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE MELODY
SO PRETTY YOU WANT TO SING ALONG
WOULD YOU LIKE A BIT OF LAH DE DAH
DUM DEE DEE
JUST TO HUM WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE MUSIC
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE SONG

GENERAL D.
(snoring)

CAMEL
HUMA-HUMA-HUMA-HUMUM

RAGGEDY ANN
GET THE RING. GET THE RING.

CAMEL
HUMA-HUMA-HUMA-HUM

RAGGEDY ANN
HE'S SNORING, NOW.

CAMEL
Look I did it.

RAGGEDY ANN
You’re not so useless.

CAMEL
Invaluable.

RAGGEDY ANN
What’s in there, sugar?

MARCELLA
The road to— to— the Doll Hospital!

RAGGEDY ANN
Sssh! Here. Keep it safe—

BABY
Look.

PANDA
Adios, amigo.

ANDY
Okay, down the ladder. Tiptoe.

CAMEL
Tiptoe? Me? I’m soaring!— on the wings of song— on the wings of song— on the wings of—

HUM DE DUM
DIE DE DIE
LIKE MOMMY USED TO CROON

DOLLS
WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE MUSIC
YES, WE LIKE A LITTLE TUNE

CAMEL
Don’t need knees—

RAGGEDY ANN
Head West!

PANDA
Music universal language.

PANDA
TOO MANY TREES HERE

ANDY
AND GENERAL D'S HERE

COMPANY
HOPE IS FADING
EVERYTHING DONE AND GONE


CAMEL
I'M GOIN' BALMY.

BABY DOLL
I WANT MY MOMMY.

RAGGEDY ANN
I'M SO LOST
AND SOON I'LL BE DEAD AND GONE

PANDA
WHY RUN SO FAST
WHEN IS NOWHERE TO GO

BABY
IT'S FAR TOO LATE
TO FIND L.A., YOU KNOW

ANDY
AND MEXICO IS GONE

ENSEMBLE
WE DO GET LOST HERE,
AS STORIES TELL
BUT IF WE LISTEN
PERHAPS THE STORY TURNS OUT WELL
SOMETIMES


ENSEMBLE
WE HAD OUR WARNING
AND IN THE MORNING
GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE
GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE
GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE
GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE


ALL
GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE
GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE
GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE
GONE, GONE, GONE, GONE

RAGGEDY ANN
You’ve got the wrong baby.

WITCH
WHAT DID I LOSE
WHEN DID I LOSE IT
WHEN DID THE HIGH LIFE GO LOW
AND HOW DID I GO SO FAR
WHAT DID I THROW AWAY FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GLORY
WHY DID I TURN MY BACK SO SOON
BEFORE I LEARNED THE STORY

WHERE DID I GO
WHAT DID IT GET ME
WHEN ALL THE GOOD TIMES GO BAD
AND WHEN YOU’VE BEEN HAD YOU SEE
NOT EVERY SHINY THING IS WHAT IT OUGHT TO BE
WHAT DID I LOSE
AND WHEN DID I LOSE ME.

RAGGEDY ANN
CAN YOU STILL REMEMBER
WHAT IT IS TO WAKE UP
IN A PLACE WHERE SOMEONE’S ALWAYS
WAITING JUST TO CARE
IS THERE STILL A PERSON
WHO'LL LOVE YOU MORE EACH DAY
SOMEONE WHO KEEPS GIVING THINGS
THEY NEVER TAKE AWAY.

IS THERE STILL A MOMENT
WHEN A HEART IS OPENED
TO A PLACE WHERE JOY AND LIGHT
AND LAUGHER FILL THE AIR
SOMEWHERE NOT TOO DISTANT
CAN YOU STILL REMEMBER
WHERE’S THE PLACE WHERE SOMEHOW, SOMETIME,
LOVE IS ALWAYS THERE.

GENERAL D.
THE NIGHT FILLS WITH TERROR
THE SOUL IS STRIPPED BARE
THE BATTLE IS OVER AND NOBODY WON
AND THERE'S NO ONE TO CARE
THE SPIRIT IS SHATTERED
THERE’S NO TRACE OF WILL
AS THE BLOOD MOON IS RISING ABOVE YOU
A PALE SHADOW LOOMS ON THE HILL

AND THEN HE COMES RIDING
THE WIND CHILLS YOUR FACE
THE TERRIBLE MOMENT YOU'VE DREADED THE MOST
LOCKS YOU IN HIS EMBRACE
AND OH YOU GO RIDING
AND WITH HIM AT YOUR SIDE
HIS SMILE LEADS YOU ON
‘TIL THE LAST BREATH IS GONE
AND ETERNITY’S DOOR OPENS WIDE

HE’S QUIETLY WAITING
A HUSH IN THE AIR
HIS EYES GLOW A TENDER ENCOURAGEMENT
TEMPTING YOU CLOSER AND LEADING YOU THERE
AND THERE’S NO ESCAPING
ALL PATHS ARE AS ONE
AND THE BLOOD MOON IS RISING ABOVE YOU
AND YOUR LITTLE STORY IS DONE

AND SO HE COMES RIDING
BEFORE BREAK OF DAY
THE NIGHTMARE THAT'S HAUNTED YOUR LIFE-TIME
LEAPS OUT AND IT SWEEPS YOU AWAY
AND THOUGH YOU GO RIDING
THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE
AND HIS SMILE LEADS YOU ON
'TILL THE LAST BREATH IS GONE
AND ETERNITY’S DOOR OPENS WIDE.
OPENS WIDE
OPENS WIDE.

POPPA
And then what happened?

MARCELLA
And then what happened was Raggedy Ann made me a present.

POPPA
What present?

MARCELLA
Of her heart.

POPPA
Really.

MARCELLA
Then I woke up.

POPPA
I see roses, kid.

MARCELLA
Where?

POPPA
Back in your cheeks, how do you feel?

COMPANY
CARRY ON

MARCELLA
Oh, fine. No chills, no fever—

POPPA
Want some breakfast?

MARCELLA
I’m starved.
That’s funny.

POPPA
Eh?

MARCELLA
She has no heart.

POPPA
You ate it.

COMPANY
CARRY ON

MARCELLA
No, I didn’t.

POPPA
You ate it in your sleep.

MARCELLA
No, I didn’t.

COMPANY
CARRY ON

POPPA
Well, don’t matter. I’ll make her another one.

MARCELLA
Today?

POPPA
This minute. And she’ll be back kickin’ her heels up again tonight.

MARCELLA
Truly?

POPPA
Kid, would I tell you something that wasn’t a fact?

MARCELLA
I think so, Poppa.

POPPA
That’s cause you don’t know what a fact is. Can’t get rid of her so easy, she’s always kicking up her heels somewhere— right now, if a person could see—

ALL
RAGS, BUTTONS, AND GINGHAM AND YARN
WITH SILVER MOON TO LIGHT THE WAY
RAGS, BUTTONS, AND GINGHAM AND YARN
AND THE SHADOWS FLY AWAY.
