Ian Dury And The Blockheads - The (Body Song) lyrics

The foot picks steps with leisured dread Receives instructions from your head It's the body song It's the body song The leg, a source of much delight Which carries weight and governs height It's the body song It's the body song The flesh we've got beneath our skin Is what we keep our feelings in It's the body song It's the body song Manipulation has its charms For fingers, hands and also arms It's the body song It's the body song Themes of joy and songs of pain Come well inside the brain's domain It's the body song It's the body song The sight of smiles upon the face Gives hope for all the human race It's the body song It's the body song Mysteries that most perplex The heart of love and soul of s** It's the body song It's the body song What bodies need in general terms Is food and clothes, and free of germs It's the body song It's the body song
