Lyrics & Music by: George Newall
Performed by: Jack Sheldon

Them bones, them bones, them dry bones,
Now they're the working of the Lord

Bones are heard of, but seldom seen,
'Cept each year'round Halloween
But I've got a shockeroo,
Right now there's a skeleton locked up inside of you (Ha-ha-ha)

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
Lookout, 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!
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
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 ev'ry 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!)

So please remember,
You 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

(Your skeleton)
It's a framework, (Yes, yes) holding you together
Shielding organs, Yeah, that's Its job, too
