I don't need no conversation
I got everything I need
I'm happy sitting up here
With my ten little friends, Mr Bones, and me

I ain't going to the party
I don't want no cakes n' tea
I'm happy sitting up here
With my ten little friends, Mr Bones, and me

I keep myself to myself
And I disconnect the phones
My ten little friends are playing piano
Mr Bones is on trombone

I don't need no conversation
I got everything I need
I'm happy sitting up here
With my ten little friends, Mr Bones, and me

I don't need no television
Ain't got time to watch TV
I'm too busy sitting here playing
With my ten little friends, Mr Bones, and me

I keep myself to myself
And I disconnect the phones
My ten little friends are playing guitar and on bass is Mr Bones
