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 are struggling to get out

I know it’s all a mystery
There’s something in the history

Something happened here so long ago
Something we never talk about but we all know
What has happened hеre I try to think
Though it was all so long ago
It’s left a stink

Shake and rattlе those bones
Shake and rattle those bones

Turn up the radio
Turn on the new TV
Play something 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 are rattling through the night

I know it’s all a mystery
There’s something in the history

Something happened here what we don’t know
Something that's still a mystery from a 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
