words and music by Arlo Guthrie |
|
I had a friend, a friend I could trust |
|
He went into the park and got busted |
|
Doing the ring-a-round-a-rosy rag |
|
Went in the park late at night |
|
And he put a lot of people over eighty up tight |
|
He was doing the ring-a-round-a-rosy rag |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Ring around, ring around rose |
|
Touch your nose and blow your toes and mind |
|
Doing the ring-around-a-rosy rag |
|
(It really was a drag) |
|
Ring around, ring-around-a-rose |
|
Touch your nose and blow your toes and mind |
|
Doing the ring-around-a-rosy rag |
|
We ought to send Officer Joe Strange |
|
To some Australian mountain range |
|
So we all can do the ring-around-a-rosy rag |
|
Would you like to put Philidelphia up tight |
|
One mass ring-around-a-rosy |
|
In the middle of the night? |
|
We all should do the ring-around-a-rosy rag |
