    I wrote this song the day after I got married; it's about a corpse who takes the marriage vow quite literally. I think it's the product of two fears of mine: death and dancing.
    CD: Deemed unsuitable for our album; now we say: "Good enough for MP3"
    Credits: Words and music by Mark Lerner; lead vocal by special guest Don Ralph of Life in a Blender

    Lyrics
    MISTER BONES
    I dont take sugar, I dont take milk
    I dont drink coffee or tea
    Just put on some music, this room sure could use it
    Push back the furniture, grab onto me

    Ive got no hair, Ive got no skin
    Im made of teeth and bone
    But you said forever
    and I know youd never leave me here,
    dead and alone

    Dance with me, dance with me
    Dance with Mr. Bones
    Dance with me, dance with me
    Im only dead, Im not dead and gone
    Dont make me dance all alone

    Whos in the kitchen, whos in the hall?
    Who is that climbing the stair?
    Whos in the bedroom and holding you tight?
    I could give someone a terrible fright
    Ill always want you, Ill always haunt you
    Ill never leave you alone
    Death did not part you from my heart
    Come on baby, rattle these bones

    Dance with me, dance with me
    Dance with Mr. Bones
    Dance with me, dance with me
    Im only dead, Im not dead and gone
    Dont make me dance all alone
