Lyrics (choreography):
When I come to cell bio to study urinary histology
I get so excited, I might pee
And in my hour of darkness my TA's sing in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it pee
Let it pee, let it pee, let it pee, let it pee
(right leg slides out)
Flowing through the nephrons, let it pee
(Rain fall hands, right leg slide)
When the blood meets Bowman's capsule, in the cortical kidney
There will be filtration, let it pee
Through the fenestrations, those podocytes are passing free
Electrolytes not protein, let it pee
Let it pee, let it pee, let it pee, let it pee
(right leg slides out)
Flowing through the nephrons, let it pee
(Rain fall hands, right leg slide)
In the proximal tubule, reabsorption we can guarantee,
Then through the loop of Henle, let it pee.
Countercurrent multiplier increases osmolality
And now we are ascending, let it pee.
Let it pee, let it pee, let it pee, let it pee
(right leg slides out)
Flowing through the nephrons, let it pee
(Rain fall hands, right leg slide)
In the distal tubule, you can decrease your acidity
Sodium proton antiport, let it pee
And in collecting tubule, we regulate the quantity,
Turn on vasopressin, Don't let it pee.
Let it pee, let it pee, let it pee, let it pee
Flowing through the nephrons, let it pee
(One last time!)
Let it pee, let it pee, let it pee, let it pee
Flowing through the nephrons, let it pee
