Skeletal Divisions

[Intro] First day in lab and the whole thing's staring back Two hundred and six pieces, no clue where to start Here's the map nobody handed you [Verse 1] Axial's the center line, it holds you up Twenty-two in the skull, that's the whole head Twenty-six coming down the vertebral column Twenty-five in the thoracic cage, ribs plus sternum Seven more, the hyoid and the ossicles Add it up, that's eighty in the axial [Pre-Chorus] Axial holds the center, that's your frame Appendicular hangs off it, that's your limbs One keeps you standing, one lets you move Swap those two and the whole count falls apart [Chorus] Two hundred and six, that's the adult count Eighty in the axial, holding the line One twenty-six in the appendicular Girdles, arms and legs, every finger and toe Eighty plus one twenty-six, do the math Two hundred and six, the skeleton's complete [Verse 2] Pectoral girdle, four bones and that's all Two clavicles, two scapulae, done Sixty in the upper limbs, thirty a side Sixty in the lower limbs, same exact split Twenty-seven in the hand, twenty-six in the foot Pelvic girdle's the last thing left to add [Bridge] Pelvic girdle's only two, the hip bones Sacrum already counted in the spine Count it twice and your total breaks Two hip bones, that's the whole girdle [Chorus] Two hundred and six, that's the adult count Eighty in the axial, holding the line One twenty-six in the appendicular Girdles, arms and legs, every finger and toe Eighty plus one twenty-six, do the math Two hundred and six, the skeleton's complete [Outro] Axial holds you, appendicular moves you Eighty and one twenty-six Sacrum counts as spine, not girdle Two hundred and six, head to toe [End]
