You’ve got 1 — one little brain in your head
It controls everything you’ve ever done or said
And you’ve got 2, two hemispheres that make up the
Two halves of that one little brain in your head!
There are 3 parts going top to bottom,
The cerebrum, cerebellum and the brain stem.
And those three parts going top to bottom,
Include two hemispheres of that
One little brain in your head.
1-2-3 — I’m counting on my brain.
Just like we can count on clouds to make the rain.
And we can count on waves to keep crashing to the shore.
Oh, 1-2-3 — let’s count a little more!
You’ve got 1 — one little brain in your head
All it takes is one small thought to start a thread
For a great idea — surprising, awe-inspiring!
All from one, one little brain in your head.
Well, we’ve got 4 — four lobes of the brain.
Occipital, parietal, temporal and frontal.
And those 4 lobes make up each hemisphere,
Of that 1 — one little brain in your head!
And you’ve got 5 — five senses,
Seeing, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.
Your receptors for those five senses,
Make paths called neural networks in that
One little brain in your head!
1-2-3-4-5 — I’m counting on my brain.
Like we count on water to flow down the drain.
And we can count on our earth to have a hot molten core.
Oh, 1-2-3-4-5 — let’s count a little more!
You’ve got 1 — one little brain in your head
All it takes is one small thought to start a thread
For a great idea — surprising, awe-inspiring!
All from one, one little brain in your head.
All from one, one little brain in your head.
