Cell Song

So why do cells build us up
Nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm
Mitochondria, vacuoles, and golgi bodies
Lysosomes, ribosomes, and centrioles
ER, chloroplast
We need you (2x)
More than anything darling
You’re all that we have from the start
So build us up
Cell organelles with your functions

Our body is made of microscopic cells
We’re unique, oh yes that’s true
The plant cells are diff’rent from animal cell
With its structures and components, hey, hey, hey
Nucleus is the brain, hey, hey, hey
Cell membrane, regulates the entry and exit of
materials in and out of the cell. ..oooohhh…oooohhh…..

So why don’t you build us up
Mitochondria baby, you give energy through ATP
And the lysosomes, the scavengers baby
Cleaning up our cells
And digest the food
We need you (2x)
More than anything darling
Endoplasmic re-ti-cu-lum,
It's the transport channel
And the ribosomes they make proteins

Chloroplasts are the plastids inside the plant cells,
The makers of glucose
They are together with numerous tiny vacuoles,
Containing cell sap, hey, hey, hey
Cell wall, a rigid wall, hey, hey, hey
Maintaining the shape of the cell because of
the water causing turgor pressure…inside…ooohhh….

So why don’t you build us up
Golgi bodies, baby shippers of the cell
By packing products
And the centrioles, aid in division of the nucleus
To form daughter cells
We need you (2x)
More than anything darling
You have to be part of our lives
So build us up
Cell organelles don’t break our hearts

We, we, we, we need you
More than anything darling
You have to be part of our lives
So build us up
Cell organelles don't break our hearts

So build us up
Cell organelles don't break our hearts

So build us up
Cell organelles don't break our hearts
