Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

[3] In the Czech Republic, it is sung to the tune "Když jsem přišel do Vršovic", which is known in USA as "Stodola, pumpa" or "Along the ranch path" in South Korea.

Children might dance while they sing the song and touch their head, shoulders, knees, and toes in sequence to the words.

[citation needed] One song was adapted from the traditional version, although it uses a different tune (Frère Jacques) with modified lyrical constructions, such as "Eyes and ears" and "Chin/Mouth and nose", and suggests touching the body parts as in the traditional song.

[5] Another variation starts the line with "Eyes" and includes "chin", but it has the words in an order that causes the motions to zig zag.

[5] Many derivative songs have been constructed over the years that similarly teach the vocabulary of body parts.
