--> Aaron stretched himself, shook himself, got up, took a step of two, and began to dance a jig. With his old bones rattling, and his yellow teeth snapping, and his bald head waggling, and his arms flip-flopping, around and around the room he went.
--> The fiddler played and Aaron danced. Up and down the floor he danced. Witrh his long legs clocking, and his kneebones clocking, he skipped and pranced around the room.
-->How that dead man danced!
-->Crickety-crack, down and back, the dead man went hopping. Every time he jumped he cracked, and every time he cracked, another dry bone dropped on the floor.

--->At midnight in the museum hall,\\
The fossils gathered for a ball,\\
There were no drums or saxophones,\\
But just the clatter of their bones,\\
Rolling, rattling carefree circus,\\
Of mammoth polkas and mazurkas,\\
Pterodactyls and brontosauruses\\
Sang ghostly prehistoric choruses,\\
Amid the mastodonic wassail\\
I caught the eye of one small fossil,\\
"Cheer up sad world," he said and winked,\\
"It's kind of fun to be extinct."

-->As the sob of the breeze
-->Sweeps over the trees
-->And the mists lie low on the fen
-->From grey tomb-stones
-->Are gathered the bones
-->That once were women and men
-->And away they go
-->With a mop and a mow
-->To the revel that ends too soon
-->For cockcrow limits our holiday
-->The dead of the night’s high noon!

-->''Ha! ha!''
-->''Then is the ghosts’ high noon!''
