Ian Dury - Blockheads

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 sex

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
