Lite trasiga och knasiga, det är vår refräng. Är din näsa sned eller armen ur led och din tå är gul och blå? Lappri, säger trasdockan, du är lika bra ändå. Fast trasiga och knasiga. Vi sjunger vår refräng. Lite trasiga och knasiga, är vårt trasdocksgäng.

A little ragged/broken and wacky, is our rag doll bunch . A little ragged and wacky, that is our chorus. Is your nose crooked or your arm out of joint and your toe is yellow and blue ? Trifles , says the rag doll, you're just as good anyway. Though ragged and wacky. We sing our chorus. A little ragged and wacky, is our rag doll bunch.
