Cell #5
Sing along

I’ve got a story to
tell
it’s about all the
organelles in a cell
the little bitty
organs that make it
run
so that we can still
learn and have a
some fun
Look at your
hands and arms
while I sing
they’re made
up of cells
as are all living
things
The cell is
the basic
unit of life
if you
understand
that
it will all be
alright
Cells are small
can’t be seen
with your eyes
but if you use a
microscope
you’ll see a
surprise
Inside a cell
there’s a whole
lotta things
these are
organelles
of which I sing
A little bit of
nucleus
controls it all
nucleus
And if it’s a
plant cell
it has a cell
wall
Cell wall
A little cell
membrane
for in and out
Cilia and
flagella
to move about
A little bit of
ribosomes
to synthesize
the proteins
that travel
on an ER
ride
A little bit of
Golgi
to package
them
All these
organelles
are in your cells
Inside the
nucleus
is DNA
tangled up as
chromatin
but that’s okay
Cells have
mitochondria
for energy
stored in the
form
of ATP
Vacuoles
to store more
stuff
and though
there’s more
organelles
I think that’s
enough
A little bit of
nucleus
controls it all
And if it’s a
plant cell
it has a cell
wall

for in and out
Cilia and
