The Hepatitis Song

[Instrumental intro] [Verse] In the liver, it stay hidden, sometimes causing no alarm, But other times it strikes, showing jaundice's charm. Acute, chronic, fulminant too, Yellow skin, poor appetite, symptoms to pursue. [Instrumental solo] [Verse] Viruses A to E, spread in different ways, Alcohol and toxins, in the liver they can stay. Autoimmune reactions, genetic links too, Infections and ischemia, just to name a few. [Pre-Chorus] Millions suffer, millions die, each year this cry, B, C, D through blood and birth, A and E through food and earth. [Chorus] Over a million deaths, a toll that's severe, Hepatitis B, C, D through blood and birth, A and E through food and water, affecting the earth. [Instrumental solo] [Verse] Hepatitis A and E, through water and food they spread, B and C through blood, and through sex they are led. D needs B to replicate, in infected bodies’ stead, Hepatitis B can pass from mother to child instead. [Instrumental solo] [Verse] Vaccines for A, B, D, keep infections at bay, Healthy diet, weight loss, NASH kept away. Antivirals for C, immune suppression for autoimmune, In severe cases, a liver transplant looms. [Outro] Knowledge is power, awareness is key, Prevent hepatitis, for you and me.
