Them Not-So-Dry Bones

Lyrics

[Intro] Them bones, them bones, them dry bones Now they're the working of the Lord [Verse 1] Bones are heard of but seldom seen 'Cept each year 'round Halloween But I've got a shock-eroo Right now there's a skeleton locked up inside of you! [Verse 2] Minus bones, you're just a blob Being framework's their main job All your organs, muscles too They need your bones to hold them safe and sound inside for you Your heart and lungs are tucked away In there behind your ribs Those bones have been protecting them Since we were little kids [Verse 3] Look out! Here comes a bonehead play! Birdin' his brain, tweet tweet tweet, what a day! Don't take much to overwhelm it But luckily those bones up there work like a built-in helmet! [Bridge] Shin bone connected to the knee bone (That means the tibia connects to the patella) Knee bone connected to the thigh bone (That means the patella connects to the femur) And here's how they really fit together! [Verse 3] Ligaments are what link bone to bone Cartilage that cushions in between Muscles hook on by the tendons So here's what's happenin' in your knees most every time you bend 'em Now there's a lot of skeleton we never get to see But it holds other little parts that show quite obviously I'm talkin' 'bout those thirty-two that we all call our teeth We gotta feed 'em right and keep 'em clean Or they can come to grief (Ouch! Ow, that hurt) [Verse 4] So please remember, you've got to do it while you're young! Feed your bones some good old calcium Drinking milk, a glass or two Will help your bones to stay in shape and do their job for you [Outro] (Your skeleton) It's a framework, yes yes, holding you together Shielding organs, yeah, that's its job too!
