Underneath the brain,

See them in a line.

Cranial nerves for all,

Looking mighty fine.

One dozen nerves to serve,

To help your ticks and tocks,

What fun it is to name our nerves,

Oh!

Optic nerve, optic tract,

Remember olfactory

Oculomotor, trochlear’s fine,

Trigeminal’s pretty keen!

Abducens nerve, facial nerve,

Glossopharyngeal.

Vagus, hypo, accessory-

A nervous song to sing!
