I See Bones 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
