The Skeleton Goes to Town

(As sung by Clive the Barker)

With a barker shot and a plea for pennies (Skeleton goes to town)
Turn of a screw and daring-do too (Skeleton goes to town)
With a bone yard crawl and a priestly scowl
You know he’s not sugar and tea
With a tall blue hat and a blade in his cane
Quiet as a treason just give him a reason
he will cure you from the ills of breathing
Yes he will yes he will
The Skeleton goes to town

With a crack and a kick and a walking stick (Skeleton goes to town)
Judiciary and Executioner too (Skeleton goes to town)
With a bone yard crawl and a priestly scowl
He’s a crusher, he’s a choker and a don
With a graven pallor and no saving graces
Quiet as a treason just give him a reason

Hey-hey-hey-hey-one day we pray-hanging and draining in the public square
Hey-hey-hey-hey-we say one day hanging and draining in the public square

Plenty of years in the muck has driven him
Crooked as a pig tail
Vigil as a flat fixer
He puts the stab in constabulary
He wants to catch you at it
Lock and stock and throw away the key

Hey-hey-hey-hey-one day we pray-hanging and draining in the public square
Hey-hey-hey-hey-we say one day hanging and draining in the public square

With a barker shot and a plea for pennies (Skeleton goes to town)
Turn of a screw and daring-do too (Skeleton goes to town)
With a bone yard crawl and a priestly scowl
You know he’s not sugar and tea
With a tall blue hat and a blade in his cane
Quiet as a treason just give him a reason
Skeleton is painting the town tonight
Skeleton is going to town tonight
Tonight Skeleton is going to town
