You've got five main senses, not two or three
You've got five main senses, want to count 'em with me?
You see with your eyes — that's one sense for you
And you hear with your ears — that's sense number two
You smell with your nose — that's three, what's four?
You taste with your mouth — and there's just one more
You feel with your hands — that's sense number five
They all make you feel so glad you're alive!
