Lyrics

Spooky scary skeletons

Send shivers down your spine

Shrieking skulls will shock your soul

Seal your doom tonight

Spooky scary skeletons

Speak with such a screech

You'll shake and shudder in surprise

When you hear these zombies shriek

We're so sorry skeletons

You're so misunderstood

You only want to socialize

But I don't think we should

Cause Spooky scary skeletons

Shout startling shrilly screams

They'll sneak from their sarcophagus

And just won't leave you be

Spirits supernatural

Are shy whats all the fuss

But bags of bones seem so unsafe

It's semi-serious!

Spooky scary skeletons

Are silly all the same

They'll smile and scrabble slowly by

And drive you so insane

Sticks and stones will break your bones

They seldom let you snooze

Spooky scary skeletons

Will wake you with a boo!
