Skinny Bones Jones Lyrics by Aunt Bettys

Aunt Bettys

1996

Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, yeah
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, yeah
[Verse 1]
What's up with this band?
It's been around forever
Played New York City
Before most the world was born
Made it big, made it bigger, made it bigger
Then it keeps on coming back
All tattered and torn
[Chorus]
Skinny Bones Jones
Skinny Bones Jones
(Ooh-hoo)
Do you have to sell your souls
To stay bigger than gold?
Skinny Bones Jones
Skinny Bones Jones
(Ooh-hoo)
Do you have to sell your souls
To be the Rolling Stones?
[Verse 2]
There can be no generation gap
As long as you're alive
We'll die before you do
This history is shown
When your skin falls off
It won't bother you a bit
You'll have brand-new hits
[Chorus]
Skinny Bones Jones
Skinny Bones Jones
(Ooh-hoo)
Do you have to sell your souls
To stay bigger than gold?
Skinny Bones Jones
Skinny Bones Jones
(Ooh-hoo)
Do you have to sell your souls
To be the Rolling Stones?
[Verse 3]
You make more money in a minute
Than most men make in their lives
Off the jukebox alone
And when you're tired of abusing
You get a blood transfusion
And you're back up and grooving
For another show
[Chorus]
Skinny Bones Jones
Skinny Bones Jones
(Ooh-hoo)
Do you have to sell your souls
To stay bigger than gold?
Skinny Bones Jones
Skinny Bones Jones
(Ooh-hoo)
Do you have to sell your souls
To be the Rolling Stones?
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
