Grave Digger (with video)
[Opening:]
We got lotsa bones
That we all need…
They help us move around
And other things….
We’re the gravediggers That dig up bones,
So dig on these….
[Chorus:]
Now when you a grave digger – you need one of these (point to shovel)
To dig up them bones (need one of these)
Now when you a grave digger – you need one of these (point to shovel)
To dig up them bones (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head
[Verse 1:]
Bones are da bomb
Start wit’ da cra-ni-um (background yell: skull)
At the top of yo’ head
Keepin’ yo’ brains from harm.
I know you got a clavicle
(I can tell by ya arm and yo shoulder)
Also known as da colla-bone (point to clavicle)
Far as bones you got a lot…
I can tell by ya charm and ya arm.
But I'm lookin' for the scapula,
Have you seen it?
It connects the humerus to the clavicle.
Ulna, Humerus, radius (point to these bones in your arm)
All bones in the arm do a lot to help us
Okay, get ya carpals and then ya’ got metacarpals & phalanges
When ya’ usin’ ya’ hands, these bones help ya’ win. (shooting a
basketball with your hands)
We all wanna win wheneva we play,
So if you messin’ with these bones then you betta' say HEY!
You know why,
Take too much to shove her (shove Emma)
Or usin’ yo’ hands & arms to show ya love her (Maria/Emma hug)
Or liftin’ yo arms up high, up above her (lift arms over our heads)
I don't care what none of y'all say I still love ‘em. BONES!
[Chorus:]
Now when you a grave digger – you need one of these (point to shovel)
To dig up them bones (need one of these)
Now when you a grave digger – you need one of these (point to shovel)
To dig up them bones (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head
[Verse 2:]
75 years, 75 years
The average human lives for 75 years
I know somebody takin’ good care of all they bones is
Gonna be healthier and stronger than those otha kids.
You’ll see the rib cage, on eitha’ side of da body
With the sternum in the middle, keepin’ things together
In front of the vertebral column
Keepin’ ya upright when you jump like a bunny
Ask ya friends - they’ll think it’s all kinda’ funny
Shoulda' asked yo buddy humerus if he thought it was funneeeeeey,
If you ain't no punk holla' we want pelvis
WE WANT PELVIS! Yeah!
It's something that you need to have
'Cause yo' spinal column needs support… ya need it bad.
75 years, 75 years
And on your 75th birthday, yo bones are strong…cheers! Yeah!
[Chorus:]
Now when you a grave digger – you need one of these (point to shovel)
To dig up them bones (need one of these)
Now when you a grave digger – you need one of these (point to shovel)
To dig up them bones (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head
[Verse 3:]
Now I’m sayin' when you a grave digger, you need one a’ these (point
to shovel)
You’ll find the patella at the front of yo’ knee
Your femur is your thigh bone – the strongest in yo’ bod-eeee
Then there's tibia and fibula, bones extending from yo’ ankle to yo’
knee.
But while y'all runnin’, watch them
All the bones in yo’ foot are rockin’:
The tarsels and metatarsals lead to the phalanges
The bones in yo’ toes, keep you jumpin’ toward the ceilin’
So, take care a’ yo’ bones every night!
I know yo’ bones are callin’ to treat ‘em right.
And they gonna' keep callin' and tryin'
to keep you upright, girl,
So when you get some calcium, go on and take a bite giiiirrrrl!
[Closing Chorus:]
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head dig deep (I gotta dig)
Dig deep girl, go 'head
Let’s put em all back (pretend like we’re re-burying the bones)
WORD!
