THE B.O.D.Y. SONG

[Intro]
[bright acoustic piano, clean electric guitar, drums, handclaps]
[Male Ensemble]
B-O-D-Y Body
B-O-D-Y Body
B-O-D-Y Body
B-O-D-Y Body
[Lead Male Vocal]
Good!

[Verse 1]
Your body's got a head
Your body's got toes
Your body's got hips
Your body's got a nose
And these parts belong to you, yes they do
All these parts belong to you, yes they do
[Male Ensemble]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 2]
[Lead Male Vocal]
Now kissing, hugging, snuggling, and cuddling, handshaking, back-patting, and wrestling touches
Are okay kinds of touch
But pinching, biting, hitting, and fighting, kicking, punching, slapping, and choking
Are touches that hurt us
Yes, your body belongs to you, yes it does
All these parts belong to you, yes they do
[Male Ensemble]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Bridge]
[drums drop out, sustained piano chords, melodic bass]
[Lead Male Vocal]
And touching can be a problem for a lot of kids
Because they don't understand they just simply put it away
Now if you receive a touch that makes you feel, well, sort of confused
You know what my friends? You have a right to say no
Because your body is your own from head to toe
If you don't like a certain touch you can just say no more
Because!

[Chorus]
[full band enters, driving rhythm]
Your body belongs to you, yes it does
All these parts belong to you, yes it's
[Ensemble]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Outro]
Kissing, hugging, snuggling, and cuddling, handshaking, back-patting, wrestling touches
Are okay kinds of touch
But pinching, biting, hitting, and fighting, kicking, punching, slapping, and choking
Are touches that hurt us
Your body belongs to you, yes it does
All these parts belong to you, yes it's
