Skinny Bones

I've always listened to my critics

Ever since the age of five

They called me Skinny Bones and a tall drink of water

I've grown so tired of hearing that Jive

Thrown your share of sticks and stones dear

But you never broke my heart in two

You broke it into several thousand little pieces

One by one gonna pick'em up until my heart is true

Won't let it make me sad

Won't let it make me feel bad

I know just the thing to tell myself

You shake that thing Skinny Bones

You gotta work with what you got

You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones

To hell with what you're not

You got to shake rattle and roll your bones

You shake that thing Skinny Bones

You gotta work with what you got

You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones

To hell with what you're not

You got to shake that thing

You said I was an ugly duckling

But I am rubber you are glue

I'm gonna fluff my feathers into your tar, honey

How does it feel coming back to you

Thrown the weight off of my shoulders

Now I'm free to stand up straight

So you can eat your heart out, eat your heart out

There's a party going on

It's called like dear, I must be gone

I'd wait for you but you take too long

And I'm already late

Won't let it make me sad

Won't let it make me feel bad

I know just the thing to tell myself

You shake that thing Skinny Bones

You gotta work with what you got

You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones

To hell with what you're not

You got to shake rattle and roll your bones

You gotta shake that thing Skinny Bones

You gotta work with what you got

You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones

To hell with what you're not

You got to shake that thing
