We are going to deal with a song by Nina Simone that will help us to know the parts of the body.
1. Tell me in 1 minute as many words as you can remember related to the body.
2. Listen to the song and fill the gaps with one of the following words:
hair / head / brains / ears / eyes / nose / mouth / smile / tongue / neck / heart / back /arms / hands / legs / toes / liver / feet / fingers
Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling
Ain't got no wear, ain't got no job
Ain't got no money, no place to stay
Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother
Ain't got no children, ain't got no sisters above
Ain't got no earth, ain't got no faith
Ain't got no touch, ain't got no god
Ain't got no love
Ain't got no wine, no cigarettes
Ain't got no clothes, no country
No class, no schooling
No friends, no nothing
Ain't got no god
Ain't got one more
Ain't got no earth, -- No food, no home
I said I ain't got no clothes No job, no nothing
Ain't got long to live
And I ain't got no love
But what have I got?
Let me tell ya what I've got
That nobody's gonna take away.
I got my … on my …
I got my … ,
I got my … I got my ,
I got my … I dot my… ,
I got my … I got my … ,
I got my chin
I got my … ,
I got my boobies I got my … ,
I got my soul
I got my … , I got my sex
I got my … , I got my …
I got my … , got my … I got my … ,
I got my … I got my... , got my blood
Got life, I got my life.
3. Mark the parts of the body

Observaciones y contexto
- Ain't Got No Life, by Nina Simone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOwtHCTIhgE&ab_channel=elperroreggae (07/04/2022)
- It would be useful to clarify the use of ain't instead of haven't got.
- In one minute we remember as much body-related vocabulary as we are able to and say, alternately, Simon says: touch your... and complete with a part of the body that we should touch.
- Nina Simone is greatly influenced, both musically and as an activist, by Marian Anderson (1897-1993).
- Other jazz and blues singers of the time include Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996), Billie Holiday (1915-1959) and Sarah Vaughan (1924-1990).
