Dem Bones Jeffrey Hale ©2001
The cranium and mandible
are bones of the skull.
Sitting on top of your backbone.
The clavicle's the collar bone
the scapula's the blade
of our shoulder, that's how we're made.
Bones of the spine vertebrae and discs,
a tail at the end sacrum and coccyx,
attached to the hip bone; the pelvis
The number of bones is 206.
chorus
Here's the skeleton from head to toe.
It’s holding you up
and making blood that flows.
Bones protect what's inside .
And yes, those bones are alive.
Metacarpals, carpals hands and wrists,
phalanges are the fingers. Grip and make a fist.
Radius, ulna and humerus
are bones of the arms.
Reach and blow a kiss .
Our thigh bone is the longest bone
that's for sure.
It’s a real long bone called the femur.
Tibia, fibula. and patella
are the bones in our legs.
Let’s all stand up.
repeat chorus
The bones in our hands
are much like our feet.
Metatarsals, tarsals, and phalanges.
Calcaneus bone is in our heel
Now you know your bones.
How does it feel?
