Blood Test

Blood Test is a Sesame Street song about having your blood tested for lead, which was apparently very important when the song was written. It is less important now, but people today still take blood tests for all kinds of reasons.

Lyrics
Blood test!

Yes indeed, I said a blood test.

It's what you need.

A blood test!

Cause there ain't no doubt.

The best way a doctor can check you out.

Yeah, the doc takes the nurse see the child to tell,

If the blood of the person's either sick or well.

Gonna give you a blood test so you can see.

If you're healthy; just the way you're supposed to be.

Gonna stick your arm or finger. It'll only take a minute.

To check your blood to see if lead is in it.

If you're scared it's gonna hurt, close your eyes real tight.

And squeeze a grown-up's hand with all your might.

And if we find there's too much lead in you.

We're gonna start today.

To do the things we all can do.

To make it go away!

We got something to say before we head out.

We have several ways to help you keep the lead out.

We wanna make sure you always feel your best.

So don't forget to come and get your blood test.

Blood test!

Yes indeed. I said a blood test.

Is what you need.

So get a blood test.

That's what you should do.

You got to let the doctor take care of you.

Blood test. Blood test.
