	Well, billy went down to the battleground
	To find a little trinket he could call his own
	Didn't see nothin' lying around
	He decided he'd dig awhile
	Well he dug her up and he dug her down
	'fore too long he found some bones
	Poor little billy couldn't make a sound
	When the bones sat up and smiled
	Oh billy you seem like a fine young man
	No reason to be a tremblin' soul
	Come over here and shake my hand
	Make my proud acquaintance
	Well billy he was stunned he could hardly stand
	Whether he could move he didn't know
	But he knew he had to formulate some kinda plan
	Or try the boneman's patience
	The first thing he wanted to do was breathe
	So he gulped in some of that battleground air
	Next thing he wanted to do was leave
	But billy wasn't raised up rude
	Well the boneman grunted and he gave a heave
	All of a sudden he was loomin' there
	Shakin off dirt and actin pleased
	Things didn't look too good
	Well billy decided what the hell
	You don't meet a boneman every day
	A little bit skinny but you never can tell
	He might be a pretty good guy
	Well they started off with the old soft sell
	'fore too long they were jawin' away
	By the time the darkness fell
	They were seein' socket to eye
	They decided right then on a life of crime
	With the boneman's looks and billy's brains
	They could scare old scrooge out of his last dime
	Might as well have a go
	Billy he would picked the place and time
	From the corner store to the railroad train
	Boney'd flash him a smile sublime
	And billy he'd grab the dough
	They decided they might as well start right then
	Time's awastin' so they say
	They headed for the park
	Where the lights are dim
	And only the foolish tread
	He was whistlin' a tune
	When they spotted him strollin' along
	So plump and gay
	Boney gave him a great big grin
	And billy snagged his bread
	Next come a lady of the night
	Boney saddled up and said hello
	Gave the poor thing such a terrible fright
	She fainted dead away
	Billy lifted her purse and her earrings bright
	Diamond rings and watch you know
	Couldn't figure out try as they might
	Why they'd ever worked a single day
	Billy's plans ended up in ruin you know
	They were workin' a quaint little neighborhood
	Spied an old lady about eighty or so
	Almost looked too easy
	Boney put on a pretty good show
	The little ol' lady didn't see too good
	My kind sir your all bones you know
	You need something hot and greasy
	Grabbed ol' boney drug him inside
	Billy peeked in through the window sill
	She fed him boiled and baked and fried
	Ol' boney he's chewin like crazy
	He gobbled up everything he tried
	Pounds added on like you know they will
	Billy laid down in the dirt and cried
	Watchin boney gettin fat and lazy
	Well billy's back workin his job by day
	Sleep'n nights it ain't so bad
	Never liked stealin anyway
	Kinda gives a guy the willies
	Boney and ma got a new cafe
	Best baked beans you ever had
	Ma's expecting any day
	And they say they're gonna name him billy
