Bones

By Doris Muramatsu

Well, I’ve got more than one bone
To pick with you – I’ve got 206, it’s true!
Your bones are made of living tissue
And without them you’d collapse

Well, there’s the skull
That keeps your brain intact
And a couple dozen vertebrae in your back
There’s two elbows and two kneecaps
And some marrow runs through like that

Well, I’ve got more than one bone
To pick with you – I’ve got 206, it’s true!
Your bones are made of living tissue
And without them you’d collapse

There’s a scapula in your shoulder
And a clavicle in your collar
A femur and a tibia, an ankle and a fibula
And a bone with a sense of humer

Well, I’ve got more than one bone
To pick with you – I’ve got 206, it’s true!
Your bones are made of living tissue
And without them you’d collapse

There’s a radius in your arm
Your pelvis has its charms
The sternum is effective
And the ribcage is protective
So your heart and lungs are safe from harm

Well, I’ve got more than one bone
To pick with you – I’ve got 206, it’s true!
Your bones are made of living tissue
And without them you’d collapse
