Raggedy Ann: The Musical Adventure (aka Rag Dolly) is a dark fantasy musical with a book by William Gibson and music and lyrics by Joe Raposo. It's based on the children's stories by Johnny Gruelle and is loosely related to the 1977 feature film Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, which included variations of a few songs. The story centers on Marcella, a dying young girl whose toys come to life and take her on a magical adventure to meet The Doll Doctor, in hopes that he can mend her broken heart. The show created a controversy in Albany, it was a renowned sensation in Moscow, a notorious flop on Broadway, and it went on to develop a cult following through bootleg recordings.

Lyrics -

[CAMEL]
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 COMFORT YOU
HOW CAN YOU BE SMILING
HOW CAN YOU BE SINGING
HOW CAN YOU BE ANYTHING
BUT LOW DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE

I LOOK AROUND
AND SEE THE SWEET LIFE EVERYWHERE
I WATCH 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?

[CAMEL]
WHEN YOU'RE WRINKLED AND COLD
AND YOUR FORTUNE HAS ALL BEEN TOLD

[ANN]
AND YOU'RE NOBODY'S I LOVE YOU

[CAMEL]
HOW CAN YOU BE HAPPY

[ANN]
HOW CAN YOU BE SMILING

[ANN & CAMEL]
HOW CAN YOU BE ANYTHING
BUT LOW DOWN SAGGY AND BLUE
SAD BUT TRUE

[CAMEL]
HOW CAN YOU BE HAPPY
HOW CAN YOU BE SMILING
HOW CAN YOU BE ANYTHING
BUT LOW DOWN SAGGY

[ANN]
AND RAG BAG BAGGY

[CAMEL]
AND BLUE.
