Lyrics
Skeletons
The skeleton danced at midnight
In a skeleton cowboy bar
He met a skeleton lady
The prettiest there by far
He drove her home that evening
The next thing he knew
He had a skeleton wife, a skeleton van
And a baby skeleton or two.
The skeleton worked for minimum wage
On a skeleton crew
He bought a bare bones computer
What else is a body to do?
His blood count was low, his heart rate was nil
His EKG scant at best
The skeleton was working much too hard
He needed some peace and rest
(Break)
Ed McMahan?s skeleton was at the door
But he was much skinnier than Ed
But he had that same stupid laugh
And a grin that filled his head.
Skeletons, you?ve won 10 million dollars
In the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes
Your subscription to Life really paid off
A million a year till you?re dead
The skeletons danced at midnight
By the frosty light of the stars
Outside their skeleton mansion
Next to their brand new cars
The skeleton wife had a glow to her cheeks
As their bones rattled through the night
And the skeleton couple laughed and danced
Into the skeleton night
