Of the Lord ♪

[piano playing]

But seldom seen ♪

♪ 'Cept each year
Round hallowe'en ♪

♪ But I've got a "shockeroo" ♪

♪ Right now there's a skeleton
Locked up inside of you ♪

[cackling]

Their main job ♪

To hold them safe and sound
Inside for you ♪

Are tucked away ♪

♪ 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 ♪

[all] ♪ Shin bone connected
To the knee bone ♪

[man] That means the tibia
connects to the patella.

[all] ♪ Knee bone connected
To the thigh bone ♪

[man] 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 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 32 ♪

♪ 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.

♪ 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 ♪

[all] ♪ Will help your bones
To stay in shape ♪

♪ And do their job for you ♪

♪ Your skeleton ♪

[man] It's a framework

Yes, yes--

Holding you together.

Shielding organs...

Yeah, that's its job, too.
