Is your nose crooked or your arm out of joint [dislocated] and your toe is yellow and blue ["gul och blå" also appears idiomatically in some expressions, like "bli slagen någon gul och blå" (be beaten senseless)]? Trifles [lappri – a somewhat obscure word, and likely to have confused many native speakers], says the rag doll, you're just as good anyway. Though ragged and wacky. We sing our chorus.
