Lyrics
Dead men's bones! Dead men's bones!
On the outside white-washed tombs
On the inside dead men's bones!
Dead men's bones! Dead men's bones!
On the outside white-washed tombs
On the inside dead men's bones!
The Pharisees questioned Jesus
The scribes questioned Him too
When Jesus called them hypocrites
They didn't know what to do
He said their tithes met the law's demands
But then they ate with unclean hands
They were afraid of Jesus
Because He told the truth
Said they were full of
(chorus)
The Pharisees argued with Jesus
The scribes argued with Him too
He listened to their long, long prayers
Said their prayers just wouldn't do
"You take advantage of the weak and poor
And then you boldly ask for more."
They were angry with Jesus
He call them white-washed tombs
Said they were full of
(chorus)
They could swallow a camel
And then strain out a gnat
It's a wonder they could even see the sky
With those two by fours stuck in their eyes!
(chorus)
Dead men's bones! Dead men's bones! Dead men's bones!
