The Bloodmobile
|
The Bloodmobile
|
A delivery service inside us
|
|
We begin in the heart's right ventricle
|
And travel to the lungs
|
Red blood cells get oxygen
|
To take back to the heart
|
Then from the left side of the heart
|
And out to every cell
|
Delivered by the Bloodmobile
|
|
The food that's been digested
|
Is waiting at the dock
|
To be taken to the tissues
|
In the body's grocery truck
|
So from the small intestine
|
It's carried everywhere
|
Delivered by the Bloodmobile
|
|
The Bloodmobile
|
The Bloodmobile
|
A delivery service inside us
|
|
The white blood cells are soldiers
|
That fight infectious germs
|
They make the antibodies
|
Their weapons in the fight
|
The army is transported
|
Wherever they must go
|
Delivered by the Bloodmobile
|
|
We need to send a message
|
To tell a limb to grow
|
Or speed the heart or regulate
|
Your hunger or your sleep
|
The hormones are the message
|
They're sent from many glands
|
The messenger's the Bloodmobile
|
|
[Spoken:]
|
Somebody's got to haul out the trash
|
To the liver and the kidneys
|
It's not a pretty job
|
Carbon dioxide gets carried
|
To the lungs to be exhaled
|
And the garbage truck is the Bloodmobile
|
|
The Bloodmobile
|
The Bloodmobile
|
A delivery service inside us
|
To carry oxygen, nutrients, things that fight infections
|
Do the trash collection and deliver the mail
|
And we're all (and we're all)
|
Delivered by the Bloodmobile
|
