Dem Bones
Scaly bones, smelly bones, bones all the way through.
Old bones, bold bones, green bones, bones for me and you.
Bones rattling around in a skeleton’s un-skin,
Bones dancing and prancing, and galloping in.
We laughed and we hooted and we hollered and more
When we saw those silly bones dancing on our green floor.
The teacher was irritated, as it was the third day they had
Taken us hostage, encouraging us to be big and quite bad.
We kindergarten lovelies were shaking and laughing, lying on the floor.
Happy skeleton was laughing too, his skull popped off and flew out the door.
The teacher rolled her eyes, she knew a teachable moment when she saw one.
“The leg bone is connected to the foot bone,” she started to sing, oh, what fun!
We sang ‘dem bones’ loud and proud, Max, Jack, and Molly and me.
We sang them all day, big and loud. We sang hearty ‘til
A quarter ‘til three.
