+ Show full styles

(Verse 1)
The clock struck midnight on the church tower bell
And the phantoms crawled out of their historical cell
They cleared off the weeds from the biggest flat stone
To set up a stage made of timber and bone
And the skeleton band started tuning their gear
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re doing the dance at the cemetery hop
A gothic rockabilly party that’s never gonna stop
The stand-up bass has got a graveyard groove
That makes all the bodies in the trenches move
Oh baby, shake it up under the moon
(Verse 2)
You wore your saddle shoes and a black velvet skirt
Spinning right around in the mud and the dirt
A ghostly guitar player started to shred
With a distortion pedal that could wake up the dead
Lifting the fog right off of the grass
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re doing the dance at the cemetery hop
A gothic rockabilly party that’s never gonna stop
The stand-up bass has got a graveyard groove
That makes all the bodies in the trenches move
Oh baby, shake it up under the moon
(Verse 3)
The dynamic duo of the midnight affair
Two mortal kids with the smoke in their hair
We twisted and shouted with the ghouls in the dark
Leaving our footprints like a permanent mark
On the ancient ground where the ancestors sleep
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re doing the dance at the cemetery hop
A gothic rockabilly party that’s never gonna stop
The stand-up bass has got a graveyard groove
That makes all the bodies in the trenches move
Oh baby, shake it up under the moon
(Verse 4)
The owls in the thicket were hooting the melody
A tragic arrangement of a vintage remedy
We took a little breath by a moss-covered tomb
And watched the neon sky full of radioactive doom
Before we jumped back into the frantic line
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re doing the dance at the cemetery hop
A gothic rockabilly party that’s never gonna stop
The stand-up bass has got a graveyard groove
That makes all the bodies in the trenches move
Oh baby, shake it up under the moon
(Verse 5)
The sun is coming up and the phantoms must go
Back to the darkness of the earth below
But we’re staying right here in the shadow so deep
Where the rockabilly rebels never go to sleep
Forever locked in a graveyard spin
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re doing the dance at the cemetery hop
A gothic rockabilly party that’s never gonna stop
The stand-up bass has got a graveyard groove
That makes all the bodies in the trenches move
Oh baby, shake it up under the moon
