Them Not-So-Dry Bones

[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!
