The Lyrics

I finally got around to the deadly German E.coli compound strain that has killed 39 people in Europe and infected 3601 others!!! This was unprecedented and made history- the worst outbreak of this type ever. It started on a German organic farm and was found in infected sprouts- how the sprouts became infected is still not known. But the bacterial DNA was analyzed and revealed that the E.coli strain had combined with a toxin that made it stick to the gut in such a way as to speed up the body's absorption of the toxin which led to kidney failure. Another tragedy... very sad indeed.
German E.coli strain grew
deaths 39

Was detected from German organic food
3601 survivin’
Others were dyin’

Germans couldn’t understand it
Strain spreadin’ around
Outbreak hit Europe badly
Strain mixed with toxin a recent study found

German E.coli strain grew
deaths 39
over time

Bacteria grew
Bacteria grew
Bacteria grew
More lethal, but- how?
Three times stronger
It attacked the kidneys
Originated with organic sprouts

Unprecedented in lethality
German E.coli strain grew
deaths 39
(European fatalities made history)

I missed so many events befor coming here- did anyone do the Avian Flu or other tragedies??? I assume so. I do not wish to offend anyone b/c these deaths are certainly not funny. These are just part of my info-parodies... to educate in song.
