Raggedy figure moving down the street 
Dodging all of the creeps she meets 
Cigarette papers and a bottle of wine 
A clove of garlic and a jug of juice 
In and out of the store before closing time 

She won't stop for a Muslim bean pie 
She won't stop for an X-rated burger 
She won't stop for a war game video 
She won't stop for the voices on the street 
She just wants to get on home and rest her tired feet 

I'm in love with a ragamuffin girl 
She's been running all over the world 
But now she's here with me 

She might linger in the shade for a while 
To check out the preachers and the gospel choirs 
Looking for a bargain at the sidewalk sale 

Looking for trouble in the corner of her eye 
Then she'll climb upstairs and start up a pot of tea 
Throw her stuff on the floor and say hello to me 

I wanna bury my face in your hair 
The telephone's ringing, but I don't care 
Why should we have to go anywhere today? 
Can't we just tell them all to go away? 
I mean, they can always call back again some other time... 

All the 21st century cutting edge brats 
Would have you believe they know where it's at 
All the fashion plates can engage in debates 
About which style is the happening thing this year 
They don't mean a thing at all to you or me, my dear 

I'm in love with a ragamuffin girl 
We light the candles and we toss and twirl 
And talk of where we'd rather be 

Ferry boat jetting across the bay 
Drink in my hand and a smile on my face 
Watching the lights of the landlords and lawyers 
Of Belvedere and Tiburon 
As the sun sinks over the ancient forest and the ocean beyond 
Yeah it all looks real pretty from here 

No particular place to go 
No particular place to go 

We're spinning in circles on a fragile pool 
Just like a couple of romantic fools 
Talking about Palenque and Paleokhora 
And other places I've never been before 
(Meanwhile, back in the jungle...) 

All you steroid swilling macho bloods 
Who think you be such tough and scary studs 
You see her walking alone in the dark 
And you think you've found yourself an easy mark 
Well, surprise surprise 
A well-placed kick in your eggshell balls 
Might open up your eyes

Self-defense is a hard-won skill 
For a self-respecting ragamuffin girl
