I wanna leave a happy memory when I go,
I wanna leave something to let the whole world know,
that the rock n roll daddy has a done passed on,
but my bones will keep a rockin’ long after I’ve gone

Roll on, rock on, raw bones
Well there’s still a lot of rythm 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”

Roll on, rock on, raw bones
Well there’s still a lot of rythm in these
Rockin’ Bones

I don’t worry about tomorrow just 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
