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
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!

White Stripes, The Rag And Bone Comments
I work in the trash industry. This should and is my theme song at the moment.

Thank you

Quite possibly my favorite White Stripes song.
the soundtrack for every pawn shop out there
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.
That’s a great song, that’s the kind of stuff I say when yard sailing in The east coast..
GARAGE SALE ANTHEM
"i dunno"- meg
Is this a cool song, or what?!? 🤗😛😚
I like this song. It makes me wanna dig through garbage.
aw melon dont be rude!
Yea. It's a fun song. Not too bad.
Fantano don't know shit. This song is great.
Came here for this exact reason
mikerhoa seriously. This song is great.
@Nigel H the same. Fantano isn't right
He said it was his favorite song years ago
fuck him
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
Im really disappointed that they dont do the conversation when they do this song live.
Who is shooting thier pants? It trails as an old...
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.
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.
Something going on with my picture? Right like it does Everytime somebody takes it. "I don't think this is the girl for Hollywood."
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.
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.
2:37-2:46 One of my favorite song moments is when Jack White starts naming off houses they haven't been to, yet.
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
Mitch hedberg meets Alice's restaurant
2:37-2:46 Such a cool part.
so take a last lick of your ice cream cone...and lock up what you still want to own.
This should be the theme song for "American Pickers".
Look at all this stuff
Damn this is good
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.
Walking down the alley out of nowhere I hear this meowing-like sound "rag n' bone..." I'm like WTF is that
Fuckin great song. Quality rock
Their best album in my opinion

It's 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.
Mmm-hmm, this fits me perfect.
Give it to me.
Hey, if you ain't gonna use it, just give it to us.
We'll give it a home.
Well, have they got something shiny for me?
Anybody got a Christmas tree?
Can you party with a toilet seat?
Ah, jump up, ah, jump up, ah, jump up

Woo!
Oh, looking pretty
Your pretty little rags and bones
I saw some stuff in your yard; are you gonna give it to us?
Ah, Meg, don't be rude
Or not?
They might need it.
If you don't want it, we'll take it.
If you don't wanna give it to us, we'll keep walking by.
We'll keep going; we're not tired.
Got plenty of places to go, lots of homes we ain't been to yet
On 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.
Look at what techniques turn tables to gramophones.
So take a last lick of your ice-cream cone
And lock up what you still wanna own
But please be kind (take your time)
And don't rewind (it's fine)...

"Well can't ya hear us yellin' 'Rag and Bone'"
'Oh Meg, don't be rude' 😂😂😂
Rag and bones haaaa Awesome!!
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.
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
That was great, thanks.
Thank you for explaining. I've always loved this song. It's awesome and so creative, but I didn't know all that history.
hey! that's my shit you're lookin at!!; get out...I keep my grammaphone, you white stripes!
Rag and bone!

Coolest song ever?
Possibly.
21/04/2018
Omg i fuckin love love it!!! Gonna play it til i die!!
Meg's voice looks like a Disney princess too cute
@Bruno Pereda kinda yes
oh meg, *D O N T B E R U D E*
Loooooool
basedrum is beatin the shit out ---
i miss the white stripes :(
Yessss i tottally agree with u just sux i aint seen ur post but till now lmao. They were excellent
this remind me ZZ Top "La Grange"
Lol, I’ve never noticed that cough at the end until now.
When I heard this song I thought he was saying Wax and Bone (the speaker was far away).
Reg and bone the white strieps last album end last album
In the future everyone will listen to this and have no idea what hes talking about when he says please be kind and dont rewind jajajaja
Pretty much
One of my favorites... but then I am in love with Jack White’s Right brain 🧠❤️
Meg’s talked more in this song than in all her interviews.
true ha
I hope they could of stayed together ... Meg was super shy.... But cute...
I was looking for Adams family values by mc hammer
Ya they pissed. Fuckers
I love the sort of Bonnie and Clyde dynamic that they show in this whole album
I always thought that that is the point of the band.
Of Mice and Men lol
Thanks Anthony Fantano
YOU DON'T *WANT* THIS?
I don't HATE that album....
He calls this the worst white stripes song ever in his latest video.
Kyle Long lmao you had to check it out too?
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
Que genial el video, disculpa ¿cómo se llama la cancion de la introducción, después de la escena de Alfred con Bruce?
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.
what do you mean? I have the vinyl and there's no hologram...
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?
Who is the third person in the picture?
Yor momma
Egidijus Kalesinskas Illuminati confirmed
The third man
idk why my kids and wife hate this song , it is cool !
You should leave them.
They have no taste and that's saying little
My favorite part is when Jack White starts naming off different houses they haven't been to, yet.
Damn why are literally everyone replying to tgis guy being cunts
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
I LOVE THIS
I can't believe nobody has compare this with Peter Gabriel-Digging in the Dirt. Probably the most unlikely influence on Jack.
It reminds me of Van Halen-Hot For Teacher. Jack White is amazing.
Brunii! HAH, Jack White being influenced by van halen, Thats funny
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.
26 People without good taste..

Dude is a word smith
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
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
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
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.
Don't care how she drums...........still would <3
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.
c'est bon sa !!!!!!!!
oé ! :3
Jamais compris les gens qui comment en français dans une communauté anglaise
Jack Fucking White!!!!
Jack FUCKING AWSOME White
Newton Liberato I read Jason White idk why lol
Excellent music ! It's fun because I hear "Dragon Ball" instead of "Rag & Bone" xD
THANKS A LOT DENIS.
What is a dragon's ball? Do you mean testicle? I do not discriminate homosexuals, please tell me more.
@Arnaud Meert It's the anime, how do you not know it?
@Arnaud Meert best comment of all time
meg white is delicious
@Barefoot67 I've never eaten one myself what is it like? ;-)
Barefoot67 i don't follow?
@No one ok
Rock yeah!!
The Garage Sale anthem
Going to buy this vinyl single today! So excited :)
OllieGio got it
"I can use them!" ♥ Love him... XD "Come on and give it to me!"
definitly one of their best =)
Thanks I wasn't sure if she was still a drummer or not
"Well, this place is like a MAN-sion! It's like a MANSION, look at all this STUFF!!" lol! Favorite part!
came here to say that. I love how this song is really badass but also totally goofy and you can tell they're having really good fun time recording it.
I think not.
I'm not sure but didn't Meg join another band?
this is my go-to song to play on guitar when i'm warming up
maybe you should turn on your volume.
Haha I love it... xD
High Class Music...so good
SHUT
THE
FUCK
UP
YOU
LITTLE
SHIT
Draaaaa-gon Baaaall (?)
her voice ;] .......
Personally I think this is one of the best songs that they ever produced
I love this song along with ALL the other White Stripes songs. I really miss them. Jack is still doing some awesome stuff though. Miss you Meg.
let me help you wiseguy. This song starts at 0:00
;)
EAT THIS :D RAG AND BONE !!!!
When does this song start??? it's only a 3,46 intro to something... give it up...
One does not simply NOT dance to this song :)
yesssssss i so agree :)
I wish this song was played in the background while I got to the club, so I can feel like a motherfucking boss.
genial
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
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.
