Bones - Home on the Range

Oh, give me some bones.  That are strudy as stones, that connect from my head to my toes.

My bones help me out, help my body about.  Bones protect me wherever I go.

Chorus:

Bones, bones hard and strong.  All connected so nothing goes wrong.

My bones help me out, help my body about.  Bones protect me wherever I go.

The bones in my spine, help me stand up just fine.  While the bones in my ribs guard my heart (and lungs)

The bones in my hips help me sit and do dips.  Without bones I would just fall apart.

Chorus Again.
