I met him on a rainy day
I was lost and wanderin' around
I heard him coming from miles away
Cuz his bones make a ruckus when they hit the ground
He said: "Hi" that set the pace
We talked and talked some more
Even though he had no face
It didn't matter cuz we had a rapport
My best friend's a skeleton
He's a really stand-up guy
My best friend's a skeleton
We'll be friends 'till the day that we die
We pick up chicks, we go to bars
And we down our shots in a cinch
We go to cemeteries to watch the stars
And talk about the films of David Lynch
We are of a kindred ilk
So we very rarely fight
I only get grouchy when he steals my milk
Or when it gets cold in the graveyard at night
Oh, it's so bone-chilling in the graveyard at night
All right
My best friend's a skeleton
And his humor's really dry
My best friend's a skeleton
We'll be friends 'till the day that we die
People think it makes no sense
Be we know that it's fine
When life gets tough or too intense
I know he's got my back
And he's got mine
And even if there comes a time
When my buddy isn't there
He'll always be inside of me
So I'll never despair
My best friend's a skeleton
He hugs me when I cry
My best friend's a skeleton
We'll be friends 'till the day we die
My best friend's a skeleton
He's a really stand-up guy
My best friend's a skeleton
And now you the reasons why
We'll be friends 'till the day that we die
'Till the day that we shrivel up and die
