I haven't met a locked door yet
that I couldn't beat
on a chain around my neck
I keep my skeleton key
Chorus: 
don't waste your worry on me
I always find what I need
come and go as I please
I've got my skeleton key
don't waste your worry on me
I always find what I need
come and go as I please
I've got my skeleton key 
by now it's just a simple trick
not much to see
you hear the tumblers catch and click
then turn the key
but I've found work and welcome everywhere I've been
cause everyone's got someplace they wanna be let in
Chorus 
Along the way
the old men call me by my mother's name
she looked the same they say
the children wave 
or hide behind their mothers' skirts, afraid
strangers here still seem strange
they hear the accent
know I'm from nowhere near
but I speak the language
and I know the customs here
I come from over the horizon
pass through every dozen years
go home, tell of my arrival
the skeleton key's here
Chorus 
I've got my, my skeleton, my skeleton key
I've got my, got my, got my skeleton, my skeleton key
Yeah
Chorus 
don't you go waste all your worry on me
cause I'll make my way with my skeleton key
