Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
And eyes, ears, mouth and my nose.
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Ankles, elbows, feet and seat, feet and seat,
Ankles, elbows, feet and seat, feet and seat,
And hair, hips, chin and cheeks.
Ankles, elbows, feet and seat, feet and seat,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
And eyes, ears, mouth and my nose.
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!
