Lyrics: Tom Waits. The Black Rider. T'ain't No Sin.

When you hear sweet syncopation
And the music softly moans
It ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones

When it gets too hot for comfort
And you can't get ice cream cones
It ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones

Just like those bamboo babies
Down in the south sea tropic zone
It ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones

When you hear sweet syncopation
And the music softly moans
It ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones

When it gets too hot for comfort
And you can't get ice cream cones
It ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones

Just like those bamboo babies
Down in the south sea tropic zone
It ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones
