Song Lyrics
Verse 1:
My heart, my heart, a little pump,
It beats inside with a quiet thump.
It's working hard all day long,
Making a rhythm, strong and strong!
Chorus:
Thump-thump, thump-thump, goes my heart,
My body's very best pumping part!
Thump-thump, thump-thump, all day through,
Pumping and pumping for all I do!
Verse 2:
My heart pumps blood with a great big push,
Out to my arms in a little rush.
It sends the blood to my legs and toes,
Everywhere that my body goes!
Chorus:
Thump-thump, thump-thump, goes my heart,
My body's very best pumping part!
Thump-thump, thump-thump, all day through,
Pumping and pumping for all I do!
Verse 3:
My heart pumps blood with a gentle flow,
To my lungs where the air can go.
The lungs give blood the air it needs,
Then back to my heart, on it speeds!
Chorus:
Thump-thump, thump-thump, goes my heart,
My body's very best pumping part!
Thump-thump, thump-thump, all day through,
Pumping and pumping for all I do!
Verse 4:
My heart's a delivery truck, you see,
For all the cells inside of me.
It carries what my body needs to grow,
To every part of me, on the go!
Chorus:
Thump-thump, thump-thump, goes my heart,
My body's very best pumping part!
Thump-thump, thump-thump, all day through,
Pumping and pumping for all I do!

FAQs
What does the heart actually do?
The heart is a powerful muscle that pumps blood through the body. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carries waste away.
Why does the heart have valves?
Heart valves act like one-way doors. They keep blood moving in the correct direction instead of flowing backward.
Why does your heart beat faster when you run?
Running muscles need more oxygen and fuel, so the heart beats faster to deliver more blood and carry away carbon dioxide and heat.
What is a pulse?
A pulse is the pressure wave you feel in an artery each time the heart pumps blood. It shows how hard the heart is working.
