Dim, dim the lights
Roll on (roll on, roll on, roll on)
Rock on (rock on, rock on, rock on)
Roll bones (roll bones, roll bones, roll bones)
Well, let it be the lot of rhythm and these rockin' bones
I wanna leave a happy memory of when I go
I wanna leave something to let the whole world know
That the rock 'n' roll daddy has a dust pass on
But my bones'll be my rock 'n' roll after I'm gone
Roll on (roll on, roll on, roll on)
Rock on (rock on, rock on, rock on)
Roll bones (roll bones, roll bones, roll bones)
Well, let it be the lot of rhythm and these rockin' bones
Well, when I die, don't you bury me at all
Just nail my bones up on the wall
Beneath these bones, let these words be seen
It is the bloody tears of a boppin' machine
Roll on (roll on, roll on, roll on)
Rock on (rock on, rock on, rock on)
Roll bones (roll bones, roll bones, roll bones)
Well, let it be the lot of rhythm and these rockin' bones
I ain't a-worried 'bout tomorrow, just a-thinkin' 'bout tonight
My bones'll get restless on the do it up right
A few more times around the hardwood floor
Before we turn out the lights and close the door
Roll on (roll on, roll on, roll on)
Rock on (rock on, rock on, rock on)
Roll bones (roll bones, roll bones, roll bones)
Well, let it be the lot of rhythm and these rockin' bones
Rockin' bones
Rockin' bones
Rockin' bones
