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
(see bones, see bones)

Oh hello there, Nurse
(see bones, see bones)
Come over here and look at this X-ray
(see bones, see bones)
It's really remarkable
(see bones, see bones)
Look at this

Isn't the lumbar vertebrae supposed to be connected to the clavicle?
(see bones, see bones)
(see bones, see bones)
Well I know, but with Scotch tape?
(see bones, see bones)
(see bones, see bones)
Hey, look what's in there
(see bones, see bones)
Look at that, it's a stamp
(see bones, see bones)

It's a 1922 McKinley ultramarine blue with imperfect perforations
(see bones, see bones)
(see bones, see bones)
I've gotta get that out and put in my collection
(see bones, see bones)
Look in there, there's printing
What does it say in there?
(see bones, see bones)

U.S. certified grade A
(see bones, see bones)
Look at this, fascinating
See those little round things
(see bones, see bones)
Know what those are?
(see bones, see bones)
Those are M and M's
(see bones, see bones)
Those people are right
They don't melt
(see bones, see bones)

Among the lovely bones
