Lyrics
Mr. & Mrs. Bones
(Dunton)
Take me to town Mr. Bones, Bones, Bones.
Take me to town Mr. Bones.
Take me to town Mr. Bones, Bones, Bones.
Take me to town Mr. Bones.
Young ladies, young ladies here?s the way that I feel.
I can?t deny your offer?s got a certain appeal.
And I can think of a couple things that we could do.
You hair is thick, your skin still fits.
And gravity ain?t a got to your tits.
The offer?s tempting but I really must refuse.
Cause I could never leave old Mrs. Bones.
Without her here I don?t know where I?d go.
And though I met her many years ago.
The shoe is old, but it still fits.
And I?ve never been a man that quits.
No, I could never run on Mrs. Bones.
Take me to town Mrs. Bones, Bones, Bones.
Take me to town Mrs. Bones.
Take me to town Mrs. Bones, Bones, Bones.
Take me to town Mrs. Bones.
Young men, young men you make my mind a roam.
About strong lads that can carry me home.
And please me like my husband used to do.
Your muscles bulge out of your shirts.
It?s hard to fight the urge to flirt.
Your offer?s tempting, but I really must refuse.
Cause I could never leave old Mr. Bones.
With his hands he built our modest home.
And though that was so many years ago.
The shoe is old, but it still fits.
And I?ve never been a girl that quits.
No, I could never run on Mr. Bones.
