The Scary Skeleton

I'm a scary skeleton
And I look just like you
I sleep and walk, I laugh and talk
And move my body too

My head is on my shoulders
My neck's between the two
I've got two eyes, a mouth, a nose
And two ears just like you

I'm a skeleton, I am your friend, you see
I live inside you, so don't be scared of me!

I've got a bony body
As everybody knows
Two bony legs, two bony feet
And ten small bony toes

I've got two big bony knees
To help me sit or stand
Five bony little fingers
Are on each big bony hand

I'm a skeleton, I am your friend, you see
I live inside you, so don't be scared of me!
I'm a skeleton, I am your friend, you see
I live inside you, so don't be scared of me!
