Good morning
Everybody got to get up
Are you ready for your new career?
Need a J-O-B
Come on
Pick it up
Have you heard about?
You got to go ask you mother
Pick it up
Come on
And I'm an old mean man
And I'm gonna take that risk
Don't got to wait for Halloween to scream and wail
Bag of bones, I'm gonna put you there
And I'm an old bag of bones
But believe I get down
Come on
Oh, you got to try a little bit harder
Yeah
You got to think about it
You got to get your head out of the past
Get down
Stop pulling on my string, you cheap marionette
There's a shortcut to hell through the discotheque
A bag of bones ain't no zombie brain
Activate the body
Reject the same
Pick it up, hey
Do you remember the 1990s?
Do you remember the 1980s?
Do you remember the 1970s?
Too many squares
Too many slogans, too many slogans
Too many squares
Too much mediocrity
Pick it up
Man of my nature always got to trip
'Cause the jazz that you pushing make you sound like a drip
Well, I need something weird, I need something strange
'Cause I'm a mean bag of bones, don't got to explain
That's right
Bag of bones, I'm gonna put you down
And I'm an old bag of bones
Honey, you're just a clown
Fuck
Come on
Bag of bones
You got your neck bone
You got your hip bone
You got your ear bone
You got your, ha ha ha ha ha, funny bone
