Skeletons In My Closet

I had a brother

Six years my junior

Who kept on asking

Why I liked

Ev'ry closet door closed

And I simply could not

Tell him straight

That the skeletons

Might come and haunt.


But my mother

Who thought she knew

Who her daughter was

Yanked it free

That skeletons

Trampled over her

And where I don't

Kiss and tell

She ran and screamed.


It was my father soon

Who spoke to me

Yet what he did

Was far from speaking

What he did

With tongue so sharp

Was call me off

And that made the skeletons

Rejoice and multiply.


Well then I guess

It's safe to say

The skeletons in my closet

Were too much

For me to hide.
