(BONEJANGLES)
Hey!
Give me a listen
you corpses of cheer
At least those of you
who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story
that'll make a skeleton cry
Of our own jubiliciously
lovely corpse bride
BONE BOYS
Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown
'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (that's right)
Yeah yeah yeah
BONEJANGLES
Well our girl is a beauty
known for miles around
When a mysterious
stranger came into town
He's plenty good looking,
but down on his cash
And our poor little baby,
she fell hard and fast
When her daddy said no,
she just couldn't cope
So our lovers came up
with a plan to elope
BONE BOYS
Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown
'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
BONEJANGLES
(Oh, that's right.
Okay. Oh, yeah.
Come on, boys, pick it up
Yeah. Like it.
Okay, Chancy, take it.
Yeah. Yeah!
Oh that's nice!
Yeah!)
So they conjured up a plan
to meet late at night
They told not a soul, kept
the whole thing tight
Now, her mother's wedding
dress fit like a glove
You don't need much when
you're really in love
E cept for a few things, or some told
Like the family jewels
and a satchel of gold
Then ne t to the graveyard
by the old oak tree
On a dark foggy night
at a quarter to three
She was ready to go, but where was he?
BONE BOYS
And then?
BONEJANGLES
She waited
BONE BOYS
And then?
BONEJANGLES
There in the shadows, was it her man?
BONE BOYS
And then?
BONEJANGLES
Her little heart beat so loud
BONEBOYS
And then?
BONEJANGLES
And then baby, everything went black
Now when she opened her
eyes she was dead as dust
Her jewels were missing
and her heart was bust
So she made a vow lying under that tree
That she'd wait for her true
love to come set her free
Always waiting for someone
to ask for her hand
When out of the blue comes
this groovy young man
Who vows forever to be by her side
And that's the story of
our own corpse bride
BONE BOYS
Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown
'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
