Lyrics:
Colds can make you sneeze and cough!
Thank goodness, you can fight 'em off,
With help from an army,
Of white blood cells in your body!

Colds are kinds of viruses
Now, ask for what a virus is,
Well, they're little invaders,
Taking over healthy cells
From cell to cell, they keep on spreading!
Before you know it, you'll be getting sick!
And you'll sniff or wheeze or cough or sneeze!
It's awful, but that's all right because,
Your body can defend itself,
Your suffering will end,
With help from an army,
Of white blood cells in your body!

In the first stages,
With cells called macrophages,
Chew the virus, 'til antigens abound!
And those antigens kickstart the helper T-cells,
To activate the B-cells,
To make antibodies,
To slow the virus down!
The helper T's also trigger killer T-cells,
To fight, though the virus has infected!
Your immune system is keepin' you protected!
To get you feelin' in good health again!
Feelin' like yourself again!
All thanks to an army,
Of white blood cells in your body!

But still remember, please!
Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze!

(Achoo! Oh, excuse me!)
