Lyrics

Skeletons in your closet
 Itchin' to come outside
 Messin' with your conscience
 In a way your face can't hide
 Oh things are gettin' real funky
 Down at the old corral
 And it's not the skunks that are stinkin'
 It's the stinkin' lies you tell
 What did your mama tell you lies?
 She said it wasn't polite to tell a white one
 What did your daddy tell you about lies?
 He said one white lie turns into a black one
 So, it's gettin' ready to blow
 It's gettin' ready to show
 Somebody shot off at the mouth and
 We're getting ready to know
 It's gettin' ready to drop
 It's gettin' ready to shock
 Somebody done turned up the heater
 An' a it's gettin' ready to pop
 ♪
 Crevices in your pantry
 Now what do we have in here?
 Havin' a day time nightmare
 Has always been your biggest fear
 Oh things are gettin' real crucial
 Up the old wazoo
 Yet you cry, why am I the victim?
 When the culprit's y-o-u
 What did your mama tell you about lies?
 She said it wasn't polite to tell a white one
 What did your daddy tell you about lies?
 He said one white lie turns into a black one
 So, it's gettin' ready to blow
 It's gettin' ready to show
 Somebody shot off at the mouth and
 We're gettin' ready to know
 It's gettin' ready to drop
 It's gettin' ready to shock
 Somebody done turning the heater
 An' a it's gettin' ready to pop
 It's gettin' ready to seep
 You're gettin' ready to freak
 Somebody done picked up the talk box
 And gettin' ready to speak
 It's gettin' ready to jive
 It's gettin' ready to gel
 Somebody done gone let the lid off
 And it's gettin' ready to smell
 They're gettin' ready to deal
 You're gettin' ready to ill
 Somebody done just dropped the big dime
 And they're gettin' ready to squeal
 It's gettin' ready to turn
 We're gettin' ready to learn
 Somebody done fired up the brimstone
 And you're gettin' ready to burn
 It's gettin' ready to shake
 You're gettin' ready to ache
 Somebody done snitched to the news crew
 And it's gettin' ready to break
 You're gettin' ready to lie
 They're gettin' ready to spy
 Somebody' s been put on the hot seat
 And you're gettin' ready to fry
