Description
Incredibly “hip and swingin'” this original which so effectively expresses this dynamite J. Paul Williams text. A fantastically fresh account of the “Dry Bones” story. Good introduction to jazz rhythms and harmonies, yet very accessible. Lends itself to some movement/choreography. Loads of fun. A must for creative programming!

And an instrumental version!!
Ezekiel went walkin' in the valley one day
Everywhere he looked he saw piles of bones
He didn't know what to say
He was anxious to leave
But wouldn't you know before he could go
Somethin' grabbed his sleeve
It was those dry bones, they were dry, dry, dry
It was those dry bones, he thought he would die
It was those dry bones, lookin' him the eye
Ezekiel saw those dry bones they were dry, dry, dry.
Well those bones came together just like the Lord has said
They stood to attention even though they were dead
Skin began to grow on them, God brought to life
Ezekiel said, "Excuse me, Lord, I think I hear my wife!"
He saw those dry bones, they were dry, dry, dry
He saw those dry bones, lookin' him the eye
He saw was those dry bones, they said Hi, hi, hi,
Ezekiel saw those dry bones they were dry, dry, dry.
Those bones came together just like the Lord has said
They stood to attention even though they were dead
Skin began to grow on them, God brought to life
Ezekiel said, "Excuse me, Lord, I know I hear my wife!"
He saw those dry bones, they were dry, dry, dry
He saw those dry bones, lookin' him the eye
He saw those dry bones, they said "Hi, hi, hi"
Ezekiel saw those dry bones they were dry, dry, dry.
Ezekiel saw those dry bones (lookin' him in the eye)
Ezekiel saw those dry bones (he thought he would die)
Ezekiel saw those dry bones (lookin' him in the eye)
Ezekiel saw those dry bones (he thought he would die)
Ezekiel saw those dry bones,
Ezekiel saw those dry bones,
Ezekiel saw those dry bones,
Ezekiel saw those dry bones,
Ezekiel saw those dry bones, they were dry, dry, dry ... bones!
