The Immune System Song
Lyrics written by: Ms. Zitricki
Song Tune: The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson
Chords: G Em C D

Lyrics:
The immune system protects your body
It has three main lines of defense
It helps you to fight off pathogens
In order to keep you well

The skin has oils to keep the germs out
Air passages have mucus
The mouth and stomach have substances
So no viruses or bacteria can get in

But if a virus gets in your bloodstream
You have your next line of defense
Your white blood cells will move to the site of infection
Then there will be inflammation and fever

The third defense line involves white blood cells
That help your body when it’s under attack
The B cells produce antibodies and help destroy pathogens
By alerting T cells to recognize and destroy

The immune system helps you every day
Without it you couldn’t put up a fight
Without it you wouldn’t last through the night
Without it you couldn’t put up a fight
