Ruth is stranger than Richard
But they'll both cling on to each other
They don't think we can go it alone
We must listen to mother
Don't get ideas above your station
You're a region, not a nation
And if you want to ask me questions
Don't ask me in the street
You're all a pack of dogs
Getting under my feet
Ruth is stranger than Richard
Ruth is stranger than Richard
Leave us alone to froth in rage
You had your chance now back in your cage
If you only think in negatives, you'll never unwind
Prejudice and bigotry are all in the mind
My mind
