Lyrics
Red Fraggle Yellow: Okay, Gobo Orange. You're ready?

Gobo Orange: Sure am, Red Fraggle Yellow. And I've got my piano all in tuned.

Red Fraggle Yellow: Good, because me and my bass are all ready to groove.

Gobo Orange: Oh, good. Then why don't you introduce the song?

Red Fraggle Yellow: Oh, okay. (clears throat) Gobo Orange and I are going to sing a song about a girl who had a little trouble learning to how to do things and this girl's name was Lonesome Joan, which is also the name of our song. (clears throat) Hit it.

Gobo Orange: Okay, Red Fraggle Yellow old pardner. Let her rip!

Red Fraggle Yellow: (spoken) Okay, buckaroo Gobo Orange. (singing) Let me tell you all a story 'bout a girl named Lonesome Joan When she was three she thought she'd try to tie her shoe Her Momma said, "I'll show you how!" She pushed her Mom aside "I'll do it alone," said Lonesome Joan And her laces stayed untied

Gobo Orange and Red Fraggle Yellow : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan Red Fraggle Yellow: Felt she had to do everything alone (Yahoo!) Gobo Orange and Red Fraggle Yellow : She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself" Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Gobo Orange: Well, she got a little older -- thought she'd learn to read and write Her teacher tried to help her Joan yelled, "Get out of my sight!" So she never learned to write her name or even read a book And all alone she never learned to swim or skate or count or cook

Gobo Orange and Red Fraggle Yellow : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan Gobo Orange: Felt she had to do everything alone Gobo Orange and Red Fraggle Yellow : She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself" Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Red Fraggle Yellow: (spoken) Here I go! (singing) Well, time went by and Joan grew old as people sometimes will When Joan was 81 years old, she met a girl named Lil Lil said, "Joan, it's just ridiculous the things that you can't do! Joan, you're an 80 year old woman -- Time you learn to tie your shoe!"

Gobo Orange and Red Fraggle Yellow : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan You don't have to do everything alone You can use a little help Don't have to do it by yourself Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Red Fraggle Yellow: Go, Gobo Orange!

Gobo Orange: So Lil taught Joan to read and write and tie her shoe and more And Joan lived to the happy age of a hundred and forty four ( Red Fraggle Yellow: Wow! ) So be sure you learned a lesson From that old girl, Lonesome Joan ( Red Fraggle Yellow: What's that? ) When you're trying for the first time, You don't have to try alone

Gobo Orange and Red Fraggle Yellow : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan You don't have to do everything alone Gobo Orange: You can use a little help Red Fraggle Yellow: Don't have to do it by yourself Gobo Orange and Red Fraggle Yellow : Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Red Fraggle Yellow: Yippie tie yie, pardners!
