Song Lyrics

Verse 1: My blood is a river inside of me, It's flowing fast for all to see. It goes up high and down so low, Helping my body run and grow! Chorus: My blood goes with a steady thump, A busy river from my pump! It goes, goes, goes, it goes all day, So I can run, jump and play! Verse 2: My blood is red because of the air, My lungs put oxygen in there! It carries air to all my cells, My healthy blood, oh, how it swells! Chorus: My blood goes with a steady thump, A busy river from my pump! It goes, goes, goes, it goes all day, So I can run, jump and play! Verse 3: My blood is full of yummy food, From all the healthy things I've chewed. It takes the nutrients from my food's race, And delivers them all over the place! Chorus: My blood goes with a steady thump, A busy river from my pump! It goes, goes, goes, it goes all day, So I can run, jump and play! Verse 4: My blood has special fighter friends, To keep me safe until the end. My blood is brave, strong, and tough, It fights off germs and bad, bad stuff! Chorus: My blood goes with a steady thump, A busy river from my pump! It goes, goes, goes, it goes all day, So I can run, jump and play!

FAQs

What is blood made of?

Blood contains plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Each part has a different job.

Why are red blood cells red?

Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein with iron that carries oxygen and gives oxygen-rich blood its red color.

What do white blood cells do?

White blood cells are part of the immune system. They help find, attack, and remember germs and other things that do not belong.

Why do cuts stop bleeding?

Platelets gather at a damaged blood vessel and help form a clot. The clot plugs the leak while the body repairs tissue.
