| 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 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
|
| 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 |
