Let us all raise our glasses to the pancreas,
It has never been an organ of distinction --
Though it functions day by day,
In a most convenient way,
It has never had the glory that the liver gets.
Let us all raise our glasses to the pancreas,
Just secretin' alkaline digestive juices,
Into the intestine
Just to neutralize the stomach acid
That could be remaining on the food
Hey pancreas, hey pancreas,
You are my favorite organ,
Hey pancreas, hey pancreas,
I can't think of anything that rhymes with organ...
Pumpin' out from the lovely Isles of Langerhans
Comes the insulin that regulates the sugar in the blood
And that's why so high I rank it
And I'll drop a note to thank it
May you never have a cranky pancreas!
Hey pancreas, hey pancreas, have a nice day!
