The Man with the Skeleton Arms

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
 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 a 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
 That the flames was gonna get
 Blown across the land
 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
 Two days later
 When the fire died out
 Flanagan and I
 Went rootin' around
 For to find a little dinner
 Of roasted critter
 Blackened blackbird eggs
 And pine-cone fritters
 Now 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 off of the bone
 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
 Now of all the mad people
 That guy was the maddest
 He pulled a bone across his throat
 And pointed right at us
 Ten years on the lam
 From that skeletal man
 He's sworn his revenge,
 We've heard his sinister plan
 He'll string us up by our hands
 And lift us over a vat
 And dip us up to our elbows
 In the boiling fat
 It's like an eye for an eye
 But ninety-nine times worse
 He wants to do to us what we did to him
 Except in reverse
 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
 Sound the alarm
 It's the man with the skeleton arms
