The Anatomy Pokey
A Hokey Pokey parody that names real body parts and what they actually do — diaphragm breathes, heart pumps, brain thinks, eyes see, gut digests.
You put your DI-A-FRAM in, You put your DI-A-FRAM out, You give it a big breathe-IN and shake it all about! You do the An-a-TOH-mee POKEY And your body breathes in air, That's what it's all about! HEY!
You put your HEART-y in, You put your HEART-y out, You give it a thump-THUMP-thump and shake it all about! You do the An-a-TOH-mee POKEY And the blood goes round and round, That's what it's all about! HEY!
You put your BRAIN-y in, You put your BRAIN-y out, You give it a big THINK-THINK and shake it all about! You do the An-a-TOH-mee POKEY And you decide to wiggle, That's what it's all about! HEY!
You put your EYE-balls in, You put your EYE-balls out, You give 'em a big BLINK-BLINK and shake them all about! You do the An-a-TOH-mee POKEY And the light becomes a picture, That's what it's all about! HEY!
You put your GUT-tum in, You put your GUT-tum out, You give it a SQUISH-SQUASH-SQUISH and shake it all about! You do the An-a-TOH-mee POKEY And your sandwich turns to fuel, That's what it's all about! HEY!
You put your WHOLE-OF-YOU in, You put your WHOLE-OF-YOU out, You give it a giant BIG-DEEP-BREATH and shake it all about! You do the An-a-TOH-mee POKEY And EVERY-PART-OF-YOU works, That's what it's all about! HEY!
