Lyrics to Do the Circulation

There's a great new craze

That's sweeping the nation

Come on, do the Circulation!

It starts with your heart

What a great sensation

Come on, do the Circulation!

Out through your arteries, in through your veins

Your heart pumps your blood, then it does it again

So come on, everyone get it on

Everyone, the Circulation!

So come on, everybody

Exercise your body for circulation!

Circulation! Everybody form a circle now (uh-huh-huh)

Circulation! Like your blood, you just start moving around

Circulation! It's a function that's so out of sight

And if your feet fall asleep then

You're not circulating right

You got four heart parts to pump the blood (lub dub!)

Yeah, that's circulation

Left and right ventricle, left and right atrium

Yeah, they do it, they circulate

They pump blood through your lungs for oxygen

And then your arteries take it through to your body

And your veins bring the old blood back to be renewed

Circulation takes nutrition to your cells

And gets rid of carbon dioxide and waste as well

Circulation, it's a function that's so out of sight

And if your hands are cold then

You're not circulating right

Well, your blood is such a life-giving potion

Like a river it's always in motion

From your head to your toes

Doing good as it goes

It's a big, red, beautiful ocean

Now the blood's not bad, it's kind of special

Yeah, come dig it! Circulation!

With these red and white corpuscle cells

Yeah, come do it! Circulation!

Red cells carry oxygen, white cells fight the germs

So come on, come do it, yeah, come do it! Circulation!

So come on, come do it, with your heart, come do it! Circulation!

Circulation! Everybody form a circle now (uh-huh-huh)

Circulation! Like your blood, you just start moving around

Circulation! It's a function that's so out of sight

So come on move around and

You'll be circulating right!

There's a great new craze that's sweeping the nation

Come on, do the Circulation!

It starts with your heart, what a great sensation

Yeah, come do it, circulate!

Out through your arteries, in through your veins

Your heart pumps your blood then it does it again

Come on, everybody, get it on, everybody

Circulation!

So come on, everybody, get it on, everybody

Circulation!

The Circulation!
