*** SCIENCE ROCK *** (1978)

Them Not-So-Dry Bones

Key to symbols within the lyrics

>> Them bones, them bones, them dry bones

>> Now they're the working of the Lord.

Bones of heard of, but seldom seen

'Cept each year 'round Hallowe'en

But I've got a shock-a-roo

Right now there's a skeleton locked up inside of you!

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

And they're behind your ribs.

Those bones have been protecting them

Since we were little kids.

<Look out! Here comes a bone-head play!

Burned his brain! (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.

Cartiledge that cushions... in between.

Muscles hook on... by the tendons.

So here's what's happening in your knees most everytime you bend them!

Now there's a lot of skeleton

We never get to see.

But it holds other little parts

That show quite obviously.

Talkin' bout those thirty-two

That we all call our teeth

You got to feed 'em right and keep 'em clean,

Or they can come to grief. (OUCH! Ow!)

So please remember,

You've got to do it while you're young!

Feed your bones some good ol' calcuim.

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>
