David Maria,Luis and Bob are dressed as scarecrows David sings about the knee Maria about the shoulder, Luis' verse is about the ankle and Bob's verse is sort of a closing summary on it. after each verse was sung, they would sing abcd123, let's all sing a song about the kee. accd when you are older you'l still sing a song about the shoulder. abcd something something can't remember the part after Luis' song about the ankle, and after Bob sing it's 8910 wxyz that it for the ankle. theshoulder and the knee and they all fall down. any mistakes let me know.

The name of this song was "Ankle Shoulder Knee". It was on the Sesame Street video "I'm Glad I'm Me" and "The Sesame Street Busy Book".

The line you're forgetting is:

"A B C Your pink piggy bank'll help you rhyme a silly word like ankle."

I remember this song very well from that video. I wonder when it was last used on the show. But it couldn't have been any later than Season 20, because it had David in it.
