The "Dem Bones" thread turned up a whole song I didn't know, but now I'm wondering why I expected it to be the chorus of a different song. The one that first disconnects the bones and then connects them again.

Toe bone [dis]connected from the foot bone.
Foot bone connected from the ankle bone.
... shin bone ...
... knee bone ...
... thigh bone ...
... hip bone ...
... back bone ...
... shoulder bone ...
... neck bone ...
... head bone ...
Hear the word of the Lord.

Then, back, in the opposite order only this time the

Head bone connected to the neck bone.
Neck bone connected to the shoulder bone
etc.

What I'm missing is the chorus, or frame or whatever it is that surrounds all this anatomy.
