The doctor was looking at the X-ray
And I asked him, "What do you
see?"
And he kept on looking at the X-ray
As he said in French to me:
"I see bones.
I see gizzards and bones,
And a few kidney
stones
Among the lovely bones.
I see hips
And fourteen paper clips,
Three asparagus tips
Among the
lovely bones.
I see things in your peritoneum
That belong in the British
Museum.
I see your spine,
And your spine looks divine.
It's exactly like
mine.
Now doesn't that seem strange.
And in case you use pay
telephones
There's two dollars in change,
Among your lovely bones.
Oh hello there, Nurse.
Come over here and look at this X-ray.
It's
really remarkable.
Look at this.
Isn't the lumbar vertebrae supposed to be
connected to the clavicle?
Well I know, but with Scotch tape?
Hey, look
what's in there.
Look at that, it's a stamp.
It's a 1922 McKinley
ultramarine blue with imperfect perforations.
I've gotta get that out and put
in my collection.
Look in there, there's printing.
What does it say in
there?
"U.S. Certified Grade A."
Look at this, fascinating.
See those
little round things.
Know what those are?
Those are M & M's.
Those
people are right.
They don't melt!
Among the lovely bones.
