The Skeleton Rag by American Quartet (Vocal Group) Lyrics

See that moon, hear that tune
Moaning, groaning, oh so scary
Through the lonely cemetery
Shapes of white fill the night
Swinging, swaying, playing, prancing
Ghostly goblins gaily dancing
Skip and hop, never stop
From the place where they've been hiding
Slipping, sliding they come gliding
Short and tall, see them all
Shake like gelatine at that skeleton rag

Oh that skeleton rag
That goblin drag
It sounds so weepy, creepy solemn serious
See them wiggle and wag
Singing we’re dead ones come to life
Hurray, hurray, oh, that skeleton rag
They swell it and brag
About their epitaphs with laughs delirious
At some ghostly gag
Is that moany, groany, bony skeleton rag
Look around, hear that sound
Don't it make you shake and shiver
Don't it make you quake and quiver?
Can’t you hear music queer?
See that melancholy fellow
Playing on his ghostly cello
As he croons, ragtime tunes
From his long and bony fingers
Comes a melody that lingers on the air, so beware
You'll be dying to start is trying that rag

Oh that skeleton rag
That goblin drag
It sounds so weepy, creepy solemn serious
See them wiggle and wag
Singing we're dead ones come to life
Hurray, hurray, oh, that skeleton rag
They swell it and brag
About their epitaphs with laughs delirious
At some ghostly gag
Is that moany, groany, bony skeleton rag
