 * Prairie Dawn's Purple Book as Count von Count

Lyrics
Prairie Dawn's Purple Book: (singing) Feel your fingers, feel your toes Grab your elbow, pinch your nose Touch your ankle, tap your knees Give your chin a little squeeze You'll feel something hard inside And it can not be denied What you feel seems hard as stone And it's something called the bone

Oh there are bones, bones, bones, bones Bones inside of you Bones, bones, bones, bones More than just a few So many you can count them Amazing but it's true There are bones, bones, bones, bones Bones inside of you

There are bones inside your hand In your feet to help you stand In your elbow and your heel Lots of lovely bones to feel Though your bones are hard to see Still you have them just like me They are not outside but in Yes they're underneath your skin

Yes there are bones, bones, bones, bones Bones inside of you Bones, bones, bones, bones More than just a few So many you can count them Amazing but it's true There are bones, bones, bones, bones Bones inside of you

(spoken) Now, when you put all those bones together, you may come up with something we call a skeleton. Remember that word, it's one of my favourites. And now, boys and girls, I will tell you what happens if you didn't have any bones ...

(sung) If you had no bones at all Then you couldn't run or crawl And you couldn't stand up straight Or eat dinner off your plate Without bones we'd all fall down Just like puddles on the ground Just like melted ice-cream cones If we didn't have our bones

Yes, there are bones, bones, bones, bones Bones inside of you Bones, bones, bones, bones More than just a few So many you can count them Amazing but it's true There are bones, bones, bones, bones Bones inside of you

(spoken) And now the most fun of all, I will count all the bones I can think of. The toe bone, that's one, the heel bone is two, the ankle bone is three, shin bone, four, knee bone, five, hip bone, six, rib bones that's seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven .... I love counting bones, ah, ah, ah, ah!
