| Lyrics: | I See Bones
The doctor was looking at the X-ray
And I asked him, "What do you
see?"
And he kept on looking at the X-ray
As he said in French to me:
"I see
bones.
I see gizzards and bones,
And a few kidney stones
Among the lovely
bones.
I see hips
And fourteen paper clips,
Three asparagus tips
Among the
lovely bones.
I see things in your peritoneum
That belong in the British
Museum.
I see your spine,
And your spine looks divine.
It's exactly like
mine.
Now doesn't that seem strange.
And in case you use pay telephones
There's two
dollars in change,
Among your lovely bones.
Oh hello there, Nurse.
Come
over here and look at this X-ray.
It's really remarkable.
Look at this.
Isn't the lumbar vertebrae supposed to be connected to the clavicle?
Well I know, but with
Scotch tape?
Hey, look what's in there.
Look at that, it's a stamp.
It's a
1922 McKinley ultramarine blue with imperfect perforations.
I've gotta get that out and put
in my collection.
Look in there, there's printing.
What does it say in there?
"U.S. Certified Grade A."
Look at this, fascinating.
See those little round
things.
Know what those are?
Those are M & M's.
Those people are
right.
They don't melt!
Among the lovely bones |
