White Stripes, The - Rag And Bone Lyrics






[Jack & Meg:]
Rag & Bone!
Rag & Bone!
Rag & Bone!
Rag & Bone!

[Jack:]
Meg, look at this place
This place looks like a mansion!
It's like a mansion, look at all this stuff!
Look, I see something over there.

We got you here selling rag and bone
Bring out your junk and we'll give it a home
A broken trumpet or a telephone
Ah, come on, come on, come on
Come and give it to me

Yeah!

Come on, come on, come on
Come on and give it to me

Rag & Bone!
Rag & B one!

Ah, come on, come on, come on
Come on and give it to me

All of your pretty
Your pretty little Rags & Bones

[Jack:] Well, look at all this, you don't want it?

[Meg:] What is that?

[Jack:]
You sure you don't want it? Take it.
They're just things you don't want.
I can use 'em.
Meg can use 'em
We can do something with 'em
We'll make something out of 'em
Make some money out of 'em at least.

Hey if you ain't gonna use it, just give it to us
We'll give it a home

Well, I hope you got something shoddy for me
Everybody got a Christmas tree
Can you part with a toilet seat?
Ah, jump up, jump up, jump up
Come on and give it to me

Rag & Bone!

We wanna get it Granny, while it's hot
You think it's trash Granny, but it's not
Oh, we'll be taking whatever you got
Ah, give up, give up, give up
Come on and give it to me

Woo!

All of your pretty
Your pretty little Rags & Bones

[Meg:] I saw some stuff in here, now are you gonna give it to us?

[Jack:] Ah, Meg, don't be rude

[Meg:] Why not?

[Jack:]
They might need it.
And if you don't want it, we'll take it
And if you don't wanna give it to us,
We'll keep walking by
We'll keep going we're not tired
But, got plenty of places to go
Lots of homes we ain't been to yet
The west side
The south-west side
Middle east
Rich house
Dog house
Outhouse
Old folks' house
House for unwed mothers
Halfway homes
Catacombs
Twilight Zones
Looking for Technic's turntables to gramophones
So take a last lick of your ice-cream cones
And lock up what you still wanna own
But please be kind
And don't rewind

All of your pretty
Your pretty little Rags & Bones
Your pretty little Rags & Bones

Ah, jump up, jump up, jump up
Come on and give it to me

Your pretty little Rags & Bones

[Jack & Meg:]
Ah, come on, come on, come on
Come on and give it to us!

[Jack:]
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
Oh yeah!
Yeah!

[Meg:] Yeah!

[Jack & Meg, x13:] Yeah!

  6. m.... n....

    the soundtrack for every pawn shop out there

  7. t.... l....

    I kinda think of myself in a 4x4 riding at full speed down an off trail rode for a weekend away camping. Such a good song.

  8. V.... M....

    That’s a great song, that’s the kind of stuff I say when yard sailing in The east coast..

  9. n.... j....

    GARAGE SALE ANTHEM

  10. j.... g....

    "i dunno"- meg

  11. W.... W....

    Is this a cool song, or what?!? 🤗😛😚

  12. M.... T....

    I like this song. It makes me wanna dig through garbage.

  13. D.... A....

    aw melon dont be rude!

    D.... A....

    Yea. It's a fun song. Not too bad.

  14. m.... ....

    Fantano don't know shit. This song is great.

    m.... ....

    Came here for this exact reason

    m.... ....

    mikerhoa seriously. This song is great.

    m.... ....

    @Nigel H the same. Fantano isn't right

    m.... ....

    He said it was his favorite song years ago

    m.... ....

    fuck him

  15. T.... S....

    I like jack white,s rag & bone is a highly recommend song by me personally I think it is a good song i really like the guitar in this song it jam, so glad you are having fun with my picks i love turning people on to new music and things this is Thomas Swoopes thanks so much for all of your replies to my shit

  16. C.... G....

    Im really disappointed that they dont do the conversation when they do this song live.

  17. k.... s....

    Who is shooting thier pants? It trails as an old...

    k.... s....

    I have less things to do than wonder what goth is about. They won't let me stop burning them. But they went out like it's the party scene and now they are just cool.

    k.... s....

    The incident is they act as witches then pretend not to notice me. I didn't bring myself here. Actually, I don't see anyone doing it the way I call home.

    k.... s....

    Something going on with my picture? Right like it does Everytime somebody takes it. "I don't think this is the girl for Hollywood."

    k.... s....

    Gone is the picture perfect image of someone thinking they're a real witch. A thin line is set to veil a real diety. Are you opening a circle for idols? It's going with it right into the void of thinking hello is the way of the future. I am coughing AT you.

    k.... s....

    A guess is straight entertaining to me. What do you think the veil exactly is? To hold a flash. Hoot hallow!!!! How ye'haw sound. This is what goth is to me.

  18. S.... W....

    2:37-2:46 One of my favorite song moments is when Jack White starts naming off houses they haven't been to, yet.

  19. T.... S....

    I really like Jack White his song rag and bone is a hard rocking hip funkey cool little didie that i like a lot i recommend you listen to it

  20. D.... R....

    Mitch hedberg meets Alice's restaurant

  21. S.... W....

    2:37-2:46 Such a cool part.

  22. b.... ....

    so take a last lick of your ice cream cone...and lock up what you still want to own.

  23. H.... ....

    This should be the theme song for "American Pickers".

  24. M.... B....

    Look at all this stuff

  25. M.... S....

    Damn this is good

  26. R.... T....

    GOTDAMN these GUYS SUCK. One of every ten songs is tolerable. So much talent wasted. Would NEVER go to a concert because their version of their "greatest hits" are TOTAL SHIT. Such a waste. I LOVE so many of their songs, NONE of these though.

  27. J.... D....

    Walking down the alley out of nowhere I hear this meowing-like sound "rag n' bone..." I'm like WTF is that

  28. C.... ....

    Fuckin great song. Quality rock

  29. D.... ....

    Their best album in my opinion

  30. R.... B....

    "Well can't ya hear us yellin' 'Rag and Bone'"

  34. r.... K....

    'Oh Meg, don't be rude' 😂😂😂

  35. B.... H....

    Rag and bones haaaa Awesome!!

  36. J.... T....

    A rag-and-bone man (or "bag board" or totter) collects unwanted household items and sells them to merchants. Traditionally this was a task performed on foot, with the scavenged materials (which included rags, bones and various metals) kept in a small bag slung over the shoulder. Some rag-and-bone men used a cart, sometimes pulled by horse or pony.

    In the 19th century, rag-and-bone men typically lived in extreme poverty, surviving on the proceeds of what they collected each day. Conditions improved following the Second World War, but the trade declined during the latter half of the 20th century. Lately (2007-2017), however, due in part to the soaring price of scrap metal, rag-and-bone men can once again be seen at work in many Third World (as well as some First World) countries.

    Also... an awesome White Stripes song.

    J.... T....

    My Dad picked trash in rich areas to sell at the flea markets. I think of him when I hear this. Makes me happy. Thanks for the history. I knew what it meant but I'm sure others are scratching their heads. Lol

    J.... T....

    That was great, thanks.

    J.... T....

    Thank you for explaining. I've always loved this song. It's awesome and so creative, but I didn't know all that history.

  37. T.... C....

    hey! that's my shit you're lookin at!!; get out...I keep my grammaphone, you white stripes!

  38. �.... ....

    Of Mice and Men lol

  58. I.... ....

    Thanks Anthony Fantano

    I.... ....

    YOU DON'T *WANT* THIS?

    I.... ....

    I don't HATE that album....

    I.... ....

    He calls this the worst white stripes song ever in his latest video.

    I.... ....

    Kyle Long lmao you had to check it out too?

    I.... ....

    Giorgi Tsurtsumia I did the same! I remember him praising the killer riff in this song years ago and know it seems like he absolutely loathes it

  59. N.... C....

    Que genial el video, disculpa ¿cómo se llama la cancion de la introducción, después de la escena de Alfred con Bruce?

  60. R.... P....

    That amazing hologram from the vinyl. Mind=blown.
    Most of you don't know, because you don't realise that Jack adds all these bonuses to everything.

    R.... P....

    what do you mean? I have the vinyl and there's no hologram...

    R.... P....

    I have a hologram on the Lazaretto album but not on my Icky Thump... maybe he put a hologram on a limited number of the Icky Thump albums?

  61. E.... K....

    Who is the third person in the picture?

    E.... K....

    Yor momma

    E.... K....

    Egidijus Kalesinskas Illuminati confirmed

    E.... K....

    The third man

  62. H.... B....

    idk why my kids and wife hate this song , it is cool !

    H.... B....

    You should leave them.

    H.... B....

    They have no taste and that's saying little

    H.... B....

    My favorite part is when Jack White starts naming off different houses they haven't been to, yet.

    H.... B....

    Damn why are literally everyone replying to tgis guy being cunts

  63. o.... H....

    I sat around and thought about the things we used to do. It really meant a lot to me ... you! mean a lot to me!
    I really mean that much to you?
    ... yeah
    :D

  64. i.... c....

    I LOVE THIS

  65. J.... H....

    I can't believe nobody has compare this with Peter Gabriel-Digging in the Dirt. Probably the most unlikely influence on Jack.

    J.... H....

    It reminds me of Van Halen-Hot For Teacher. Jack White is amazing.

    J.... H....

    Brunii! HAH, Jack White being influenced by van halen, Thats funny

    J.... H....

    except he plays an EVH Wolfgang now - and small talking over a quiet guitar that eventually explodes into a chorus and back again has some Hot For Teacher similarities, but then again, I don't feel tardy. Class dismissed.

  66. h.... ....

    26 People without good taste..

    h.... ....

    h.... ....

    Dude is a word smith

  67. J.... B....

    even thought Meg White isn't a very talented drummer, she fits nicely to the White Stripes, at least she is groovy and i believe that's more important than talent and technique

    J.... B....

    Meg is an extremely talented drummer. A large part of being s great drummer is knowing how to play what needs played to make a great song. Her style is smooth and groovy and it really helps in making their sound. If she played hard and fast the white stripes wouldn’t be what they are. There is a good video I think it’s titled what makes a great drummer check it out

    J.... B....

    John Bonham it's Jack's fault she's minimalistic. He made her stay that way because it was "like a child"... yet was mad that she wasn't salivating over his guitar skills

    J.... B....

    She wasn't a drummer before the White Stripes formed. Of course shes not going to be great. Her drumming is primitive and meant to be child like.

    J.... B....

    Don't care how she drums...........still would <3

    J.... B....

    Most important thing is always what you feel with the music. If it works, it works. Putting importance on technique can make music boring, especially if it seems like they made the song more complex than it needs to be to impress the listener.

  68. A.... C....

    c'est bon sa !!!!!!!!

    A.... C....

    oé ! :3

    A.... C....

    Jamais compris les gens qui comment en français dans une communauté anglaise

  69. N.... L....

    Jack Fucking White!!!!

    ;)
    EAT THIS :D RAG AND BONE !!!!

  91. R.... H....

    When does this song start??? it's only a 3,46 intro to something... give it up...

  92. P.... ....

    One does not simply NOT dance to this song :)

  93. K.... C....

    yesssssss i so agree :)

  94. N.... M....

    I wish this song was played in the background while I got to the club, so I can feel like a motherfucking boss.

  95. j.... l....

    genial

  96. L.... P....

    If you had to mention one song by The White Stripes that "sucks" then "In The Cold Cold Night" sure as hell better not be that one..

    I'd have chose "My Doorbell".. and I'd say it's just Sub-Par

  97. M.... C....

    it is, or it was when the show first started. on their commercials they played it. they don't anymore though :(

    they clearly like Jack White to. they had him on the show, but you probably saw that.
