Lyrics: Lungs go whoosh Help you breathe Kidneys filter, make your pee Gut digests All your food And turns it into poo The heart fills up With lots of blood Pumps it out like lub dub dub But there's one thing That no one knows... What Does the Spleen Do?

Ring-ding­-ding­-ding-­dingeringeding! Gering­-ding-­ding­-ding­-dingeringeding! Gering-­ding-­Secret Male Uterus! What the spleen do? Wa­-pa­-pa­-pa-­pa-­pa-­pow! Wa-­pa-­pa-­pa-pa-­pa-­pow! Wa­-pa-pa-pa-Magic Powers! What the spleen do? Hatee-­hatee-­hatee-­ho! Possibly a backup tongue! Hatee-­hatee-­hatee-­ho! What the spleen do? Joff­-tchoff-­tchoffo-­tchoffo­-tchoff! Tchoff­-tchoff-­tchoffo-­tchoffo­-tchoff! Joff­-tchoff-­tchoff-Vestigial Fin! What does the spleen do?

Big blue veins Lymphy nodes Lots of blood in lots of  holes Kind of shaped like Brazil And your texture's such a thrill Your pulp is red So beautiful Like a kidney in disguise If you can live without your spleen Can your spleen live without you-­ou-ou-­ou-­ou? You-­ou-­ou-­ou-­ou? You-­ou-­ou-­ou-­ou? How could your spleen live without you-ou-ou-ou-­ou? You-­ou-­ou-­ou-­ou? You-­ou-­ou-­ou-­ou? What does the spleen do?

Jacha-­chacha­-chacha­-chow! Chacha-­chacha-­chacha-­chow! Storage for your extra teeth! What the spleen do? Fraka-­kaka-­kaka-­kaka-­kow! Fraka-kaka-kaka-Making Babies! Fraka-kaka-kaka-Babies Babies! What the spleen do? A-­hee-­ahee ha­hee! A-­hee-­ahee ha­hee! A-­hee-­ahee ha-Third eye! What the spleen do? A­-oo-­oo-­oo-­ooo! A­-oo-­oo-­oo-­ooo! What the spleen do?

The secret of the Spleen Ancient mystery Somewhere behind the stomach I know you're hiding What is your role? Will we ever know? Will always be a mystery What do you do? You're my guardian organ Hiding in the peritoneum What do you do? Will we ever know? I want to... I want to... I want to know!

Maybe it filters the blood? Nah, man, that's crazy Yeah
