🎶 Verse 1
Olfactory (I), what a smell it brings,
Sensing scents, it’s the nose that sings!
Optic (II), it helps us see,
Vision's clear and bright as can be!

🎶 Chorus
Cranial nerves, they all play a part,
Helping us live, right from the heart!
Sensory, motor, in every way,
They guide our bodies, each and every day!

🎶 Verse 2
Oculomotor (III), eyes on the move,
Focus and constrict, it’s got the groove!
Trochlear (IV), keeps our gaze in line,
Eye movement smooth, it’s truly divine!

🎶 Chorus
Cranial nerves, they all play a part,
Helping us live, right from the heart!
Sensory, motor, in every way,
They guide our bodies, each and every day!

🎶 Verse 3
Trigeminal (V), feeling on the face,
Chewing, biting, it’s got the grace!
Abducens (VI) turns the eye,
For side-to-side, it’s flying high!

🎶 Bridge
Facial (VII), with expressions so bright,
Taste and tears, it’s pure delight!
Vestibulocochlear (VIII), balance in stride,
And hearing, oh it’s a joyful ride!

🎶 Chorus
Cranial nerves, they all play a part,
Helping us live, right from the heart!
Sensory, motor, in every way,
They guide our bodies, each and every day!

🎶 Verse 4
Glossopharyngeal (IX), taste in the back,
Swallow and salivate, never lack!
Vagus (X), it’s a big one too,
Speech and heart rate, it sees us through!

🎶 Verse 5
Spinal Accessory (XI), head turns with ease,
Shoulders and neck, it moves with breeze!
Hypoglossal (XII), tongue’s got the flow,
Helping us speak and taste what we know!

🎶 Chorus
Cranial nerves, they all play a part,
Helping us live, right from the heart!
Sensory, motor, in every way,
They guide our bodies, each and every day!

🎶 Outro
So here’s to the nerves, cranial and true,
Each one’s important, in all we do!
Remember them all, and sing with cheer,
Cranial nerves, we hold you dear!
