The Knuckle Pop
A silly bouncy song about cracking your knuckles, the bubbles that pop in the joint juice, and how it really truly isn't bad for you
POP!
You hear that? Listen close, Pull a finger, pull it slow, POP!
That snappy crackle, that little crack, Where's it coming from? Oh, ho!
Pop pop POP! Goes the knuckle! Pop pop POP! Make 'em chuckle! Pop pop POP! Goes the knuckle! What's that POP?! Here's the trick!
POP!
Inside your finger, where bones meet, There's a SLIPPERY-juice-filled space, Joint juice! Smooth and slick and sweet, Keeps the bones from bonk-and-brace!
When you tug, the space gets bigger, The juice has GAS dissolved inside, A tiny CAVITY snaps open, That's the POP! You can't quite hide!
POP POP POP!
Pop pop POP! Goes the knuckle! Cavity snap, a tiny chuckle! Pop pop POP! Goes the knuckle! Just a bouncy bubble buckle!
(The bones are FINE!) (They're safe and sound and totally hushed!) (It's gas! In juice! Going POOF!)
Scientists LOOKED and LOOKED and LOOKED — X-rays, charts, the whole report! Pop away — your bones are GOOD! Cavity-bubbles, joint-juice POP!
(Per current science, pop on, friend!)
Pop pop POP! Goes the knuckle! Cracking on, a happy chuckle! Pop pop POP! Goes the knuckle! Bubble-burst joint-juice gas-buckle!
(All right, last verse, I'm done, I promise...)
(Thumb stays put, index too...)
(Middle...)
POP!
(...one more.)
