Hey kids gather 'round let's learn today
About the nervous system and its amazing way
It's our body's network both big and small
From the brain in your head to the nerves in us all
Nervous system oh so grand
Helps us think and move understand
Signals flying here and there
Nerves are working everywhere
The brain's the boss it sits up high
Controls our thoughts oh my oh my
Spinal cord's the highway long and straight
Messages zoom at a lightning rate
The Central Nervous System it's our command
Brain and spinal cord they take a stand
Peripheral's like branches spreading out wide
Telling muscles and organs to take the ride
Sensory neurons they bring the news
From eyes skin and ears they give us clues
Motor neurons they send the call
To muscles and glands controlling it all
Autonomic's the part that works on its own
Heartbeats digestion all on its own tone
Sympathetic gears us up for the fight
Parasympathetic brings calm and delight
So remember kids this system's key
It helps us be the best we can be
With brain and nerves all working in sync
The nervous system is cooler than you think
Nervous system oh so grand
Helps us think and move understand
Signals flying here and there
Nerves are working everywhere
