Chorus:
Muscles, muscles everywhere
Attached to bones and come in pairs
Over 600 are what you’ll find
The skeletal, smooth and the cardiac kind

The masseter – in your cheek
Helps you to both smile and speak
Sternomastoids in your neck
Help you to rotate your head

Trapezius in the back of the neck
Attach your shoulders to your head
The deltoids are the next in line
To help you lift your arm just fine

Chorus

Biceps are what Popeye flexed...

Latissimus dorsi in the back...

Chorus

The gastrocnemius is the calf...

Let’s not forget the part that’s smooth...

Chorus
