Skeletons in the closet
Don't go down to the basement
Lock the attic door
Keep the cupboard shut
And put a padlock on that drawer
There are skeletons in the closet
Knocking to be let out
There are skeletons in the closet
And they're struggling to get out
I know it's all a mystery
There's something in our history
Something happened here so long ago
Something we never talk about, but we all know
What has happened here, I dread to think
Though it was all so long ago
It's left a stink
Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones
Turn up the radio, turn on the new TV
Play something loud and foolish and put the kettle on for tea
There are skeletons in the closet
The children will take fright
There are skeletons in the closet
And they're rattling through the night
I know it's all a mystery
There's something in our history
Something happened here, what we don't know
Something that's still a mystery, from long ago
Murder, plague and pillage, have left their mark
You hear the ghosts of history as soon as it's dark
Shake and rattle
Shake and rattle
Shake, shake and rattle
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones
Lock the attic door
Keep the cupboard shut
And put a padlock on that drawer
There are skeletons in the closet
Knocking to be let out
There are skeletons in the closet
And they're struggling to get out
I know it's all a mystery
There's something in our history
Something happened here so long ago
Something we never talk about, but we all know
What has happened here, I dread to think
Though it was all so long ago
It's left a stink
Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones
Turn up the radio, turn on the new TV
Play something loud and foolish and put the kettle on for tea
There are skeletons in the closet
The children will take fright
There are skeletons in the closet
And they're rattling through the night
I know it's all a mystery
There's something in our history
Something happened here, what we don't know
Something that's still a mystery, from long ago
Murder, plague and pillage, have left their mark
You hear the ghosts of history as soon as it's dark
Shake and rattle
Shake and rattle
Shake, shake and rattle
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones
Shake and rattle those bones
