[Short instrumental intro – twangy surf guitar riff, pounding toms, organ stabs] [Verse 1 – lead vocal, campy tone] Midnight strikes and the moon’s aglow, Down in the graveyard, the spirits show, Skeletons shimmy, goblins prance, Everyone’s here for the ghostly dance. [Chorus – full band + group shouts] Do the Boneyard Bounce! [Group: “Ha!”] Stomp like a ghoul in a haunted house! Do the Boneyard Bounce! [Group: “Yeah!”] Float like a ghost with a skeleton's bounce! Dip with a shriek, spin with a scare, Shake your bones like you just don’t care! [Verse 2 – lead vocal, haunted organ backing] Fog rolls in, the pumpkins glow, The floorboards creak with every toe, Spirits twirl in a ghostly trance, You’re not alive ‘til you join this dance! [Chorus – band + group shouts + ghostly “oohs”] Do the Boneyard Bounce! [Group: “Ha!”] Stomp like a ghoul in a haunted house! Do the Boneyard Bounce! [Group: “Yeah!”] Float like a ghost with a skeleton's bounce! Dip with a shriek, spin with a scare, Shake your bones like you just don’t care! [Bridge – call-and-response, group backing] Left bone, right bone, rattle 'em loud, [Group chant: “Rattle ‘em loud!”] Shake that spine and draw a crowd, Circle 'round the ancient tomb, [Group: “Boom! Boom! Boom!”] Graveyard's got that monster boom! [Chorus – high energy, layered vocals] Do the Boneyard Bounce! [Group: “Ha!”] Stomp like a ghoul in a haunted house! Do the Boneyard Bounce! [Group: “Yeah!”] Float like a ghost with a skeleton's bounce! Dip with a shriek, spin with a scare, Shake your bones like you just don’t care! [Outro – whispered over fading surf guitar] Bounce… bounce… the boneyard bounce… Where the dead don’t sleep… they dance…
