The Bloodmobile

The Bloodmobile, the Bloodmobile
A delivery service inside usWe begin in the heart's right ventricle
And travel to the lungs
Red blood cells get oxygen
To take back to the heartThen from the left side of the heart
And out to every cell
Delivered by the BloodmobileThe food that's been digested
Is waiting at the dock
To be taken to the tissues
In the body's grocery truckSo from the small intestine
It's carried everywhere
Delivered by the BloodmobileThe Bloodmobile, the Bloodmobile
A delivery service inside usThe white blood cells are soldiers
That fight infectious germs
They make the antibodies
Their weapons in the fightThe army is transported
Wherever they must go
Delivered by the BloodmobileWe need to send a message
To tell a limb to grow
Or speed the heart or regulate
Your hunger or your sleepThe hormones are the message
They're sent from many glands
The messenger's the BloodmobileSomebody'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 BloodmobileThe Bloodmobile, the Bloodmobile
A delivery service inside usTo carry oxygen, nutrients
Things that fight infections
Do the trash collection and deliver the mail
And we're all delivered by the Bloodmobile
