Comments:
Despite a promising first few bars, Joe Walker's interpretation of "Rag Doll" completely misses the mark (not unlike Ted Nugent's relatively lame effort two years earlier).

I don't get it. "Rag Doll" is a straight-forward, dead-simple song. It doesn't beg cleverness or innovation. In fact, you'd have to work really hard to mess it up. 

Regrettably, Walker and Nugent both managed to do exactly that.
Lyrics: Rag Doll, livin' in a movie
Hot tramp, daddy's little cutie
So fine, they'll never see ya leavin' by the back door, man

Hot time, get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag Doll, baby won't you do me
Like you done before

I'm feelin' like a bad boy
Mmm, just like a bad boy
I'm rippin' up a Rag Doll
Like throwing away an old toy

Some babe's talkin' real loud
Talkin' all about the new crowd
Try and sell me on an old dream
A new version of the old scene

Speak easy on the grape vine
Keep shufflin' in the shoe shine
Old tin lizzy, do it till you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery

(Chorus)

Yes, I'm movin', Yes I'm movin'
Get ready for the big time
Tap dancing on a land mine

Yes I'm movin', Yes I'm movin'
Old tin lizzy, do it till you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery

(Chorus)

Baby won't you do me, baby won't you do me....
Like you done before (huh huh)

Yes, I'm movin', Yes I'm movin'
Get ready for the big time
Get crazy on the moonshine

Yes, I'm movin', I'm really movin'
Slow gin fizzy
Do it till you're dizzy
Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery

(Repeat Chorus)
