Center
Center of the
Circulatory system,
There the heart is,
Pumping blood
In and out.
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum._
Pulse,
Heart rate,
Beating…
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum._
__
Through all the
Vessels,
Through all the
Veins,
The heart’s blood
Flows.
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum._
__
My heart rate
Shoots up,
That pounding in
My chest,
An adrenaline rush!
Those are the best!
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum._
__
It beats no matter
The time of day
Because a heart
Is here to stay.
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum,_
_Ba-bum._
