Dance With Your Skeletons
Dance with your skeletons
Fling the closet doors wide
Throw open the blinds
Let the sunshine inside
Dance with your skeletons
You know that I’m right
For they have no backbone
When held to the light
Dance with your skeletons
Introduce them to friends
And eventually
Your collection will thin
So bring out those old bones
And shake off the dust
It’s time for spring-cleaning
Get the broom if you must
Yes, dance with your skeletons
Step on their feet
The more that you lead them
They’ll take a backseat
Dance with your skeletons
Till they're not dangerous
See, they have a funny bone
And that’s humerus
Dance with your skeletons
Rattle those bones
When you go to your closet
You’ll soon find you’re alone
