Jeff Kyser Poet Lyric

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
