Brendan Parker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody has body parts, body parts
You have 10 fingers
You have 10 toes
You have 2 eyes
And you have 1 nose
You have 2 arms
You have 2 legs
Everybody has a body
And everybody has body parts, body parts
You use your hands to pick things up
You use your arms to give great bug hugs
You use your legs to run around
And your feet always touch the ground
Everybody has a body
And everybody has body parts, body parts
You use your eyes when you′re lookin'
You use your nose to smell what′s cookin'
You use your ears to hear this song
You use your mouth to sing along
Everybody has a body
And everybody has body parts, body parts
Hey everyone... I have an idea!
Why don't we all play a game... ok, here we go!
Touch you head
Touch your toes
Touch your arms
Touch your nose
Shake your head
Wiggle your toes
Wave your arms
And wrinkle your nose
Everybody has a body
And everybody has body parts, body parts, body parts, body parts
The lyrics of Brendan Parker's song Body Parts celebrate the diverse human anatomy and draw attention to the various body parts that we all possess. The song emphasizes the idea that despite personal differences, every human being shares the same physical attributes, including ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes, one nose, two arms, two legs, and hair on the top of the head. The song also highlights the functional importance of various body parts, such as hands, arms, legs, feet, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
The second verse of the song explains how each of these body parts is used in carrying out different activities. For instance, hands are used to pick things up, arms are used for hugging, legs for running and feet for support. Similarly, eyes are used for looking, ears for listening, nose for smelling, and the mouth for singing. The song concludes with a fun game that prompts the listener to touch different body parts, further reinforcing the concept that we all share the same body parts.
Body Parts is a perfect song for young children as it educates them about their bodies, fostering self-awareness and body positivity. The song's message of inclusivity and diversity allows for a shared sense of community and acceptance among all.
