The Circulatory Song

(from “Happy Days” sung by Anson Williams)

Pump, pump, pumps your blood.   The right atrium's where the process begins, Where the C02 blood enters the heart Through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle The pulmonary artery and lungs. Once inside the lungs it dumps its carbon dioxide And picks up its oxygen supply Then it's back to the heart through the pulmonary vein Through the atrium and left ventricle   (all join in chorus) Pump, pump, pumps your blood

The aortic valves where the blood leaves the heart Then it's channeled to the rest of the bod’ The arteries, arterioles, and capillaries too Bring the oxygenated blood to the cells The tissues and the cells trade off waste and CO 2 Which is carried through the venules and the veins Through the larger vena cava to the atrium and lungs And we're back to where we started   (all join in chorus) Pump, pump, pumps your blood
