Shake Them Bones

Intro

(Well now)

Gather round y'all

(Braaaains)

I got a story to tell

Verse 1

Down at the graveyard on a Friday night

The moon was full and the fog was thick

Old man Withers crawled out of his grave

Lookin for a snack and a place to kick

He shuffled past the mausoleum

Draggin one foot through the mud

Said "I ain't been to a party

Since 1963" so I said

Chorus

Zombie rave

Zombie rave

Shake them bones in the grave

Zombie rave

Zombie rave

Watch the dead come out and misbehave

Post-Chorus

Brains brains brains

(Awooo)

Brains brains brains

(Yeah)

Verse 2

Now the whole cemetery got the memo

Every corpse came clawin through the dirt

A skeleton rattled up to the DJ booth

Said "Turn it up man it don't hurt"

Miss Mildred lost her left arm somewhere

And nobody could find her head

But she was groovin anyway

Yeah the dead don't care what's dead

Pre-Chorus

So we cranked the speakers louder

Till the tombstones started to crack

And every ghoul from miles around

Come shufflin on back

Chorus

Zombie rave

Zombie rave

Shake them bones in the grave

Zombie rave

Zombie rave

Watch the dead come out and misbehave

Post-Chorus

Brains brains brains

(Oh yeah)

Brains brains brains

(Come on)

Bridge

Then the sheriff showed up with a flashlight

Said "Boys what in the name of heck"

He saw old Withers doin the worm

And he nearly broke his neck

He said "I reckon I could join ya"

Dropped his badge and grabbed a shovel

Now the lawman's dancin with a corpse

And they're diggin up a brand new trouble

Chorus

Zombie rave

Zombie rave

Shake them bones in the grave

Zombie rave

Zombie rave

Watch the dead come out and misbehave

Post-Chorus

Brains brains brains

(Ha ha)

Brains brains brains

(Here we go)

Outro

So if you hear a moan at midnight

And your neighbors start to groan

Don't you call the preacher

Just come on down and dance alone

Zombie rave

(Hee hee)

Zombie rave

Brains brains brains
