THE CRAMPS
"Rockin' Bones"
(A.P. Carter / Don Carter / Dub Nalls / Jack Rhodes)

[Chorus:]
Roll on
Rock on
Raw bones
Well, I still got all the rhythm in these rockin' bones

I wanna leave a happy memory when I go
I wanna leave something to let the whole world know
That the rock in roll daddy has a done passed on
But my bones will keep a-rockin' long after I've gone

[Chorus:]
Roll on
Rock on
Raw bones
Well, I still got all the rhythm in these rockin' bones

Well when I die don't you bury me at all
Just nail my bones up on the wall
Beneath these bones let These words be seen
"This is the bloody gears of a boppin' machine"

[Chorus:]
Roll on
Rock on
Raw bones
Well, I still got all the rhythm in these rockin' bones

And I worry about tomorrow just a-thinkin' about tonight
My bones are getting restless and I do it up right
A few more times around a hardwood floor
Before we turn off the lights and
Close the door

[Chorus:]
Roll on
Rock on
Yeah, raw bones
Well, I still got all the rhythm in these rockin' bones
Rockin' bones
Rockin' bones
Rockin' bones
