The Body Song Lyrics - Ian Dury

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
