I've always listened to my critics Ever since the age of five They called me Skinny Bones and a tall drink of water I've grown so tired of hearing that Jive
Thrown your share of sticks and stones dear But you never broke my heart in two You broke it into several thousand little pieces One by one gonna pick'em up until my heart is true
Won't let it make me sad Won't let it make me feel bad I know just the thing to tell myself
You shake that thing Skinny Bones You gotta work with what you got You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones To hell with what you're not You got to shake rattle and roll your bones
You shake that thing Skinny Bones You gotta work with what you got You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones To hell with what you're not You got to shake that thing
You said I was an ugly duckling But I am rubber you are glue I'm gonna fluff my feathers into your tar, honey How does it feel coming back to you
Thrown the weight off of my shoulders Now I'm free to stand up straight So you can eat your heart out, eat your heart out There's a party going on It's called like dear, I must be gone I'd wait for you but you take too long And I'm already late
Won't let it make me sad Won't let it make me feel bad I know just the thing to tell myself
You shake that thing Skinny Bones You gotta work with what you got You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones To hell with what you're not You got to shake rattle and roll your bones
You gotta shake that thing Skinny Bones You gotta work with what you got You gotta shake rattle and roll your bones To hell with what you're not You got to shake that thing
