lyrics

Everybody Has a Body

Some people have feet attached to their toes.
Some people have eyes above their nose.
Some people have thumbs and knuckles
And knees and legs
And a mouth to shout, “wahoo!”

Some people’s feet don’t touch the ground.
Some people’s eyes don’t look around.
Some people’s ears don’t hear
Or their mouths don’t talk,
Or their knees don’t straighten and bend.

chorus:
But everybody
Has a body,
And everyone’s body
Has someone in it.

And the way our bodies are is just
One of many possible
Ways they might have been.

Nobody has a pizza for a face.
Nobody can jump to outer space.
But wouldn’t it be silly if
Everybody had a
Basketball for a butt.

We’d learn to bounce
With our knees up high,
Down flights of stairs
Or off of chairs
Or somewhere safe outside.

Some people’s ears are filled with hair.
Some people’s heads are mostly bare.
Some people can roll their tongue or
Cross their eyes or win
Races in a chair.

Some people use fingertips to read.
Some people have braces on their teeth.
Some people have skinny arms, fat lips,
Short legs, wide hips,
Or freckles on their toes.

[chorus]

Nobody’s body is made of sand.
Nobody has a light bulb for a hand.
But wouldn’t it be silly if
Everybody had an
Eye at the end of their thumb.

We’d be able to look
In difficult places,
Like under the bed,
Behind our heads,
Or right back at our faces.

Some people have feet attached to their toes.
Some people have eyes above their nose.
Some people have thumbs and knuckles
And knees and legs
And a mouth to shout, “wahoo!”
