Well, my mind is goin’ through them changes  
I feel just like comittin’ a crime  
Every time you see me goin’ somewhere  
I know I’m goin’ outta my mind, yeah  
Oh, my baby she left me the other day  
And we were havin’ alot of fun  
Oh, she knew I just loved her so  
And that’s the reason why she had to run

Inside outside  
Leave me alone  
Inside outside  
Nowhere is home  
Inside outside  
Where have I been?  
Out of my brain on the 5:15

Home, home again  
I like to be here when I can  
And when I come home cold and tired  
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire

Dem Bones Dem Dry Bones

The foot bone connected to the leg bone,  
The leg bone connected to the knee bone,  
The knee bone connected to the thigh bone,  
The thigh bone connected to the back bone,  
The back bone connected to the neck bone,  
The neck bone connected to the head bone,  
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV?  
Dialing for Dollars is trying to find me  
I wait for delivery each day until three  
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV?

"Things are different today, " I hear every mother say  
Cooking fresh food for her husband’s just a drag  
So she buys an instant cake, and she burns a frozen steak  
And goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper  
And to help her on her way, get her through her busy day

Oh, what a wonderful thing to be  
A healthy, grown-up, busy-busy bee  
Whiling away all the passing hours  
Pinching all the pollen from the cauliflowers  
I’d like to be a busy little bee  
Being as busy as a bee can be  
Flying around the garden, brightest ever seen  
Taking back the honey to the dear old queen

We’re buzzing like that no vacancy sign out front  
Your skin is begging to be kissed by a little more than the sun  
You take my hand in yours, you lean in and  
Your lips taste like sangria  
Your lips taste like sangria
