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

 

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 mother's name she looked just 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 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
