Have you ever wondered what your body can do?
You fly in an airplane or visit the zoo.
Chew on an apple or tie up a shoes.
How wonderfully made I am.

On the side of my head on the side of my head I have to hearing ears on the side of my head.

Two seeing eyes two seeing eyes I look at the world with my two seeing eyes

Have you ever wondered what your body can do?
You fly in an airplane or visit the zoo.
Chew on an apple or tie up a shoes.
How wonderfully made I am.

Smile on my face smile on my face at the top of my chin there's smile on my face.

Fingers and toes fingers and toes what wonderful things are my fingers and toes.

Hi Rob,

Welcome back!

This is a great song. In my view, it's a perfect kid's song in that the melody and lyrics are catchy and easily remembered. You had me singing along with you after the first time through. I liked the giggling and playing at the beginning, too. It created a terrific, live-setting atmosphere. My only suggestion is that if you ever revisit mixing it, I'd try a version with the lead vocal brought up about 1 - 2 dB so that the voice sits a little above of the backing.

I'm going back to play it again, now.

All the best,
Noel

I really like this. Good strong, simple melody.

The only suggestion I can make is about the lyrics. If it were me I wouldn't change the subject (in grammatical terms!) between the verses and the choruses. Presently, the verses refer to first person ('my') while the choruses refer to 3rd person ('you'). Personally I'd make it 3rd person ('you') all the way through so the audience would identify with the whole song. Hope that makes sense?

But great job overall.

I love it! Occasionally I still get the opportunity to play for children and this song would be great for my kinder-garden fans.

Rob,

Good to hear from you again! I really like this. Very nice children's song. It kind of reminds me a little bit of Burl Ives.
