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

(see bones, see bones)

Oh hello there, Nurse

(see bones, see bones)

Come over here and look at this X-ray

(see bones, see bones)

It's really remarkable

(see bones, see bones)

Look at this

Isn't the lumbar vertebrae supposed to be connected to the clavicle?

(see bones, see bones)

(see bones, see bones)

Well I know, but with Scotch tape?

(see bones, see bones)

(see bones, see bones)

Hey, look what's in there

(see bones, see bones)

Look at that, it's a stamp

(see bones, see bones)

It's a 1922 McKinley ultramarine blue with imperfect perforations

(see bones, see bones)

(see bones, see bones)

I've gotta get that out and put in my collection

(see bones, see bones)

Look in there, there's printing

What does it say in there?

(see bones, see bones)

U.S. certified grade A

(see bones, see bones)

Look at this, fascinating

See those little round things

(see bones, see bones)

Know what those are?

(see bones, see bones)

Those are M and M's

(see bones, see bones)

Those people are right

They don't melt

(see bones, see bones)

Among the lovely bones
