"Complicated Machine" lyrics

It's a complicated machine
The organs in your body
They don't run on batteries and they don't run on gas
If you treat them well they will last and last... a long time!

It's a tissue where you do all your thinking
It helps you figure out when something's stinking
No, it's not your nose but it's very close
All your body is under its control
I think it's my BRAIN!

Put your hand on your chest you can feel it thumping
Moving blood it's always pumping
Beats 100,000 times in one day
When you're asleep and when you're awake
Sounds like the HEART to me!

You've got 2 of them, yes you do
It's an optical lens that you look through
They come in green and brown and blue
Sometimes glasses improve their view
Wow, my EYES are an organ!

It's a complicated machine
The organs in your body
They don't run on batteries and they don't run on gas
If you treat them well they will last and last... a long time!

It doesn't matter if you use your mouth or nose
When you take a deep breath, it's where the air goes
Transfer oxygen from the air to your blood
Don't give them smoke cause you'll fill them with crud
Cough, cough. Oh, my LUNGS!

Do you hear what I hear?
Did you know that they help you keep your balance?
Do you hear what I hear?
Did you know they keep growing your whole life?
That's a lot of work for EARS!

By removing liquid waste they keep your blood clean
There are two of them kind of shaped like a bean
They're part of a system called urinary
You know they're doing their job when you have to go pee!
Beans, huh? Oh, oh, it's KIDNEYS!

It's a complicated machine
The organs in your body
They don't run on batteries and they don't run on gas
If you treat them well they will last and last... a long time!

It performs over 500 chemical functions
Filtering your blood to remove pollution
Removing poisons it protects your body
Warning: Too much alcohol will make it go rotty
Wow, the LIVER is pretty important!

It's for storage and disposal of your liquid waste
You fill it up and empty it several times a day
An expanding, muscle sac with 13 ounces of space
When you feel it getting full you need to go right away
Uh, can I get a hall pass? I think my BLADDER needs to go to the bathroom!

It's the sac attached to your esophagus tube
Full of digestive juices that help to break down your food
You might hear it rumble when you're hungry for cake
But don't feed it too much unless you want it to ache
(Puke) Sounds like an upset STOMACH to me!

It's a complicated machine
It's a complicated machine
It's a complicated machine
It's a complicated machine
It's a complicated machine
It's a complicated machine

Improve the level of engagement in your classroom by sharing Teacher and the Rockbots with your class. Kids don't drift off into space as much when they're interested in what's going on.

Imagine how it would feel to plan a unit and then see your kids not only pay attention, but actually enjoy the work and learn something new in the process.

Are the kids in your class connecting with what you're teaching so much that they sing out loud? Really loud? It's too cute to miss.

If you heard that one of your fellow teachers had a really cool way of improving the level of engagement their class, would you want to know how?

If it was something you could start doing immediately, didn't cost very much and came with lots of FREE additional resources, would you want it?

The songs are cleverly written, convey relevant factual information and both summarize and give context to well-targeted topics.
