I'm back again with a dorky song. Written originally years ago for undergraduate Microbiology Lab, this song was in response to the many outbreaks of E. coli (specifically those occuring in spinach and other produce).
I hope you find this song as enjoyable as I do.
I would love to hear some feedback on this and the other "performances" I have posted under the "Phage Fun" heading. Feel free to e-mail me at the address on the left.
It's Gonna Be There (The E. Coli Song) To the tune of Blessid Union of Souls' "I Wanna Be There"
Lyrics
Don't you let that burger fall
I really hope you washed your hands
Invisible to eyes, that means small
Is that too hard to understand.
You got to clean everything
Or it will be filled with coliforms
And pretty soon, someone may be dead.
Chorus
It's gonna be there when you zip your fly
It's gonna be there when you rub your eyes
It'll cramp your stomach, cause internal pain
It'll make your intestines go insane.
It's gonna be on beef, whether or steak or ground
And in leafy greens it has been found
You better cook your food
You better wash your hands
Cause E. coli's on the lamb
You'd never know that it was there
But it has been there all the time
And if it had its way, it stay in cows on farms
But it loves bad hygeine and your grime
Cause you got dirt on yourself
When you leave the toilet room
Though the sign says, "Employees Wash Your Hands"
Chorus
And if its got blood cells to kill
Well you'd have to take some pills
And with some time, your kidneys may fail
It's gonna be there when you zip your fly
It's gonna be there you don't have to try
Gram negative and anaerobic too
And it lives inside of me and you
It's gonna be there on your burger
It's gonna be there on your knife
It'll cramp your stomach, cause internal pain
It'll make your intestines go insane.
