Thank Goodness My Blood is Clotting

(To the tune of “Don’t Sleep in the Subway Darling”)
Recording by Liz Bacon and David Simmons

I’m feeling so sad
‘Cuz I cut . . . . myself bad
Now I’m all worried ‘bout . . . consequences

It’s starting to bleed
There’s some clo . . . . sure I need
So the body kicks . . . . in its defenses

It’s happened all so many times before
The blood flows out and then it shuts the door

Thank goodness my blood is clotting
Enmeshing the fibrin chains
Thank goodness my blood is clotting
The zymogens
Are activating and all is well
So I’ll stop bleeding again

The vitamin K’s
Help to . . . . bind to cee-ays
Adding C-O-. . . . O-H to amend things
Um-m-um-um-um-um

It hardens and stays
When a glu. . . . taminase
Creates co. . valent bonds . . for cementing

In just a moment, things are good to go
The clot’s in place and it has stopped the flow

But what about clot dissolving?
Untangling fibrin chains?
This calls for some problem solving
There’s a way
Just activate up some t-PA
Get plasmin active in veins

Oh, oh, oh.
And thanks to the dis-enclotting’
Part of repairin’ veins
It’s part of my body’s plotting
The wound is gone
I’m back where I started
And nothing’s wrong
My blood flow is normal again.
