"Bones in the Body" is a song from the segment of the same name. It is a variant on the classic song "Dem Bones," with the adapted music and lyrics written by Randy Rogel.

Description[]

The Warners sing the song during a campfire, having been requested by a fellow camper to sing. With the help of Mr. Skullhead, the Warners show-off the different bones found in a skeleton.

Lyrics[]

Yakko:
Everybody knows about the ankle bone connected
To the other bones you have inside your leg
Wakko:
And everybody knows, it's true,
Without the bones inside of you...
Dot:
Your body would become a scrambled egg
Yakko:
So the toe bone's connected to the
Foot bone
Wakko:
And the foot bone's connected to the
Ankle bone
Dot:
And the slide is connected to the
Trombone!
Yakko:
The structure of the human body's
Something quite unique
And I'd imagine all the bones and joints
Connected to each other
In a complex distribution
Formed by years of evolution
And there still is some confusion
As to how it came to be
Wakko:
The foot and toes and ankle
Help us walk. We should be thankful
They're connected to the lower leg
Or else we'd all fall down
And here's the tibia, the shin bone
And the fibula is ingrown
To the back of the patella,
Which is also called the knee
The Warners:
Knee knee knee knee knee knee knee,
Knee knee knee knee knee knee knee,
Knee knee knee knee knee knee knee,
Knee knee knee knee knee!
Dot:
Here we classify bone
As the femur or the thigh bone
It's connected to the pelvis
Or the lower lumbar region
Up the sacrum to the vertebrae
And doctors all prefer to say
The sternum or the thorax
When they're talkin' 'bout your ribs
Yakko:
The finger bones are numerous
Wakko:
The upper arm's the humerus
Dot:
The forearm's got two pieces
Called the radius and the ulna
Yakko:
Then the scapula and clavicle
Wakko:
The maxilla and mandible
Dot:
The nasal and the frontal bone
And cranium on top
Yakko:
The skeleton is really great
Wakko:
It helps your body stand up straight
The Warners:
Without it, all your brains and guts
Would fall out on the floor!
