chonny jash - the man with the skeleton arms lyrics

[intro]
wake up flanagan, the bartender’s comin’
he says there’s someone here who means to do us harm
sound the alarm, it’s the man with the skeleton arms

[verse 1]
ten years ago on hogsback mountain
the flames was roaring like a lion in a fountain
the trees were burning, too many to count ’em
and trapped in the middle
with fire all around him, was our man…
flanagan and i was out camping that day
we started our fire with turpentine and hay
the wind was howlin’ so i guess we should have known
the flames was gonna get blown across thе land
[chorus]
wake up flanagan, the bartendеr’s comin’
he says there’s someone here who means to do us harm
sound the alarm, it’s the man with the skeleton arms

[verse 2]
two days later when the fire died out
flanagan and i went to rootin’ about
for to find a little dinner of roasted critter
blackened blackbird eggs and pine+cone fritters
that was how we happened on the badly burned man
he was yelpin’ for help and so we each grabbed a hand
thinking we’d be heroes if we dragged him back home
we pulled, but pulled the flesh right offa the bone

[chorus]
wake up flanagan, the bartender’s comin’
he says there’s someone here who means to do us harm
sound the alarm, it’s the man with the skeleton arms

[verse 3]
now of all the mad people, that guy was the maddest
he pulled a bone across his throat
and he pointed right at us
ten years on the lam from that skeletal man
he swore his revenge, we’ve heard his sinister plan:
[bridge]
i’ll string you up by your hands
and lift you over a vat
and dip you up to your elbows
in the boiling fat
it’s like an eye for an eye, but ninety+nine times worse
i’m gonna do to you what you did to me
except in reverse…

[chorus]
wake up flanagan, the bartender’s comin’
he says there’s someone here who means to do us harm
sound the alarm, it’s the man with the skeleton arms

[outro]
wake up flanagan, the bartender’s comin’
he says there’s someone here who means to do us harm
sound the alarm, it’s the man with the skeleton arms
