Verse 1: See that moon_______, Hear that tune_______,
Moaning, groaning, Oh! so scarey, Through the lonely cemetery,
Shapes of white_______, Fill the night_______,
Swinging, swaying, playing, prancing, Ghostly goblins gaily dancing,
Skip and hop_______, Never stop_______,
From the place where they've been hiding, Slipping, sliding, they come gliding,
Short and tall_______, See them all_______!
Shake like gelatin, at that skeleton rag.

Chorus: Oh_______, that Skeleton Rag_______!
That goblin drag_______! It sounds so weepy, creepy, solemn, serious;
See_______ them wiggle and wag_______,
Singing, "We're dead ones come to life, Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Oh_______, that Skeleton Rag_______!
They swell it and brag_______, About their epitaphs with laughs delirious,
At_______ some ghostly gag_______, In that moany, groany, bony Skeleton Rag.

Verse 2: Look around_______, Hear that sound_______,
Don't it make you shake and shiver, Don't it make you quake and quiver?
Can't you hear_______, Music queer_______?
See that melancholy fellow Playing on his ghostly cello!
As he croons_______, Ragtime tunes_______,
From his long and bony finger, Comes a melody that linger
On the air_______, So beware_______!
You'll be tying to start in trying that rag.

Chorus: Oh_______, that Skeleton Rag_______!
That goblin drag_______! It sounds so weepy, creepy, solemn, serious;
See_______ them wiggle and wag_______,
Singing, "We're dead ones come to life, Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Oh_______, that Skeleton Rag_______!
They swell it and brag_______, About their epitaphs with laughs delirious,
At_______ some ghostly gag_______, In that moany, groany, bony Skeleton Rag.
