Skeleton Starlight Swing

Under the moon, the night's in disguise

Skeleton feet start to click and rise

Rip cage rattles in a bright sky spin

We're brushing the dust off the dead of grim

Hear that trumpet laugh, hear that piano tease

The graveyard swaying in the autumn breeze

One, two, three, let the good chills flow

Everybody knows where the moonbeams go

Skeletons tapping in the starlight glow

Turning the graveyard into a dancehall show

Clack-clack, swing it, let the old bones shine

We're alive tonight in a crooked line

Skeletons tapping, hear the laughter roll

Spooky little party with a jukebox soul

Hands up high for the midnight parade

When the tats start dancin', nobody's afraid

Bats on the fence do a jitterbug swoop

Pumpkin grin crowd in a swingin' loop

A marble angel taps a toe in time

Even the ghosts are hummin' in rhyme

Crush their whisperin' under the street lamp light

Bright days walking through the velvet night

The crows all clap when the horns come in

And the whole old cemetery joins the spin

Skeletons tapping in the starlight glow

Turning the graveyard into a dancehall show

Clack, clack, swing it, let the old bones shine

We're alive tonight in a crooked line

Skeletons tapping, hear the laughter roll

Spooky little party with the jukebox, oh

Hands up high for the midnight parade

When the dead start dancing, nobody's afraid

Shake your shadow, shimmy your spine

'Til I'm on the floor, one more line

If your heart goes thump

Let the rhythm stay

In the graveyard swing

We all find our way

Skeletons tapping

In the starlight glow

Turning the graveyard

Into a dancehall show

Clack, clack, swing it

Let the old bones shine

We're alive tonight

In a crooked line

Skeletons tapping

Hear the laughter roll

Spooky little party

With the jukebox soul

Sing it loud as the church bells speak

When the kids start dancing

Nobody's afraid
