With some probable inspiration from They Might Be Giants’s 2009 kids' album Here Comes Science, clearing the path for songs like DNA.
Bacteria. Bacteria? Look, there's bacteria
Bacteria. Bacteria? You might not see them, but they're there
Bacteria. Bacteria? Everything you touch
Bacteria. Bacteria? That's right! Salmonella bacteria
Well we have to watch out for bacteria that can spoil our chicken
Bacteria practically everywhere. Everywhere you look
In the kitchen
Inside the cooler
In the dining area
In the restrooms
On our raw chicken!
And like I said:
Bacteria. Bacteria? Look, there's bacteria
Bacteria. Bacteria? You might not see them, but they're there
Bacteria. Bacteria? Everything you touch
Bacteria. Bacteria? That's right! Salmonella bacteria
Salmonella grows on raw chicken, especially old chicken
Moist foods like our salads
Staph bacteria on the left, and strep bacteria on the right
Salmonella, Shigela, Clostridium perfringens
If you didn't wash your hands, they would become breeding grounds for
Bacteria. Bacteria? Look, there's bacteria
Bacteria. Bacteria? You might not see them, but they're there
Bacteria. Bacteria? Everything you touch
Bacteria. Bacteria? That's right! Salmonella bacteria
Fever. Cramps and fever
Dysentery. Fever. Fe—fe—fe—fever
Vomiting vomiting. Chills. Cramps. Chills and—chills and cramps
One square inch, half a billion, salmonella bacteria
These bacteria really sound serious
Well they are when they're left unchecked
And they could mean a trip to the hospital— for someone
Our customers. Wow!
Ourselves. All right!
Our chicken. All right!
And our reputation. All right! All right!
You mean bacteria on me right now?!
Clean, clean, and then clean again
Bacteria. Bacteria? Look, there's bacteria
Bacteria. Bacteria? You might not see them, but they're there
Bacteria. Bacteria? Everything you touch
Bacteria. Bacteria? That's right! Salmonella bacteria
