DIG YOUR BONES

(Neil Innes)

Bonzo Dog Band



Do you know who I am?
Can you hear me talkin'?
I am always with you
When you go out walkin'

I am the skeleton in your body
And I'm here to put you straight
I am the skeleton in your body
Without me you'd be like a jello on a plate

So, dig your bones (dig your bones)
Dig your bones (dig your bones)

Now, don't be too alarmed
You're in no danger
When all is said and done
I am no stranger

I am the skeleton in your body
And I'm here to put you straight
I am the skeleton in your body
Without me you'd be like a jello on a plate

So, dig your bones (dig your bones)
Dig your bones (dig your bones)

Together we can run
Hop and skip and jump things
Use our fingers, what a team!
We are really something!

I am the skeleton in your body
And I'm so articulate
I am the skeleton in your body
Without me you'd be like a jello on a plate

So, dig your bones (dig your bones)
Dig your bones (dig your bones)
Dig your bones (dig your bones)
Dig your bones (dig your bones)

Okay, so what do you wanna do now?
Let's try a cartwheel. Maybe a handstand.
Okay, let's keep it simple, let's stand on tiptoe
with our arms up as high as we can.
Wiggle our fingers!
Yeah, that's it.
Ah, just a moment, maybe we oughta chill out.
People are beginning to stare at us.
Okay, we'll just walk down the street.
Just cool and slow.
That's it.
(dig your bones)
Don't draw attention to yourself.
(dig your bones)
(dig your bones)
