Arlo Guthrie - Ring Around-A-Rosy Rag Lyrics

I had a friend, a friend I could trust
He went into the park and got busted
Doing the ring around-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 around-a-rosy rag

Ring around, ring around rose
Touch your nose and blow your toes and mind
Doing the ring around-a-rosy rag
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 Philadelphia up tight
One mass ring around-a-rosy in the middle of the night?
We all should do the ring around-a-rosy rag

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
Touch your nose and blow your toes and mind
When you're doing the ring around-a-rosy rag
