You have two elbows

You have two knees

Perhaps you've wondered why you need these

They can be funny looking there is no doubt

But here's how elbows and knees can help you out



When you're going for a jog

Or hopping 'round like a great big frog

Your legs must bend to do things like these

What does the bending is your funny knees



When you want to scratch your back

Or swing a bat to give a ball a whack

There is one thing on which you can depend

You need your elbow and your arm to bend



Singing elbows and knees

Elbows and knees

It sure is handy to have some of these

So elbows and knees I'm recommending

When arms and legs got to do some bending

When arms and legs got to do some bending



Hanging down from a trapeze

You need your legs bending at the knees

To brush your teeth or to comb your hair

You must bend your elbow so your hand will get there



Singing elbows and knees

Elbows and knees

It sure is handy to have some of these

So elbows and knees I'm recommending

When arms and legs got to do some bending

Talking 'bout elbows and knees
