| What keeps your body from going «squish»
|
| Lying on the ground like a jellyfish?
|
| It’s the bones in your body
|
| That help you dance at the party
|
| Your hip bone attaches to your thigh bone and shin bone
|
| Your ribcage sprouts from your spine
|
| When your vertebrae wiggles around & around
|
| Well, your skull bone will have a good time
|
| How many bones are shown in the X-ray pics?
|
| Kids have 300, adults 206
|
| Lots of bones in your body
|
| Big and small in your body
|
| And as you groove they move and bend at the joints
|
| Where your ligaments flex like a spring
|
| Some joints twirl like a merry-go-round
|
| Others go back and forth like a swing (Wee!)
|
| When you put all your bones together as one
|
| It’s what we call your skeleton
|
| All the bones in your body, and the joints in your body
|
| Help you dance at the party
|
| Raise your bones up in the air! |
