lyrics

[Verse]
I got a crick in my neck and I’m feeling so wrecked
Need a DJ with a deck now
Been laying low underground with the people walking round
And the gravity bringing me down

[PreChorus]
Oh my lonely bones, been sleeping on my own
I can feel my spirit decompose
Time to shake it out, turn up the music loud
Feel it from my skull into my toes

[Chorus]
I’m not your average guy in a coffin, I’d rather be poppin’
I’m not dead yet, I belong to the living you can see it in my rhythm baby
I’m a hunky funky skeleton
I’m a hunky funky skeleton

[Verse]
I move the concrete slate and I rattle to the gate
Leave the graveyard in my wake now
I can feel it in my marrow hit the dance floor like an arrow
Gotta shake away the shadows some how

[PreChorus]
Oh my lonely bones, been sleeping on my own
I can feel my spirit decompose
Time to shake it out, turn up the music loud
Feel it from my skull into my toes

[Chorus]
I’m not your average guy in a coffin, I’d rather be poppin’
I’m not dead yet, I belong to the living you can see it in my rhythm baby
I’m a hunky funky skeleton
I’m a hunky funky skeleton

[Rap]
Put your hands like this, make your last death wish
Move it round like a fish, blow your mama a kiss
Sweep the floor with your feet, shake your bones to the beat
Throw the kids a trick-or-treat and then chase ‘em down the street
Use your neck like a scoop, walk the crip like snoop
Move your hips in a loop like you’ve got a hula-hoop
Brush the dust from your knees, pop and lock it in three’s
Shake it out like a disease, now you can rest in peace

[Chorus]
I’m not your average guy in a coffin, I’d rather be poppin’
I’m not dead yet, I belong to the living you can see it in my rhythm baby
I’m a hunky funky skeleton
I’m a hunky funky skeleton

[Outro]
I wanna see you move that fibula, take it next door to the tibia
Lemme see you shake your gluteus, prove it that you know you’re beauteous
Larynx, pharynx, vertebrae, listen to your bod’ it's got a lot to say
Show me what you know about anatomy, I’m a skeleton and proud to be
