It’s Halloween again, so all the skeletons do the skeleton dance, the skeleton dance

It’s easier to spin when you don’t have any skin Do the skeleton dance, the skeleton dance

The skeleton dance is easy for anyone to do

First your legs get wobbly then both your arms do too

So put your elbows up, and spin both your hands around

Bend your knees and jiggle your feet, until we all fall down

It’s boney, creaking, cracking, fun Dancing like a skeleton

Take a step forward, then take a step back

Shake your hands in front of you bones go clickity clack

Lift your leg, keep it straight, then bend your knee Start jiggling around, it’s fun to be so boney

It’s Halloween again, so all the skeletons do the skeleton dance, the skeleton dance

It’s easier to spin when you don’t have any skin Do the skeleton dance, the skeleton dance
