Buddy you're a young man, dumb man, careless
And you're gonna make someone quite sick someday
You got spores on your plate
They'll incubate
There's trouble if you cross-contaminate

Microbes they might kill you
Microbes they might kill you

Toilin' with the fast food, bad mood, careless
It don't matter if those burgers stay pink inside
Servin' up a storm
With coliform
0157's deadly if it don't get warm

Microbes they might kill you
Microbes they might kill you
Microbes they might kill you
Microbes they might kill you

We're always the targets
We evoke lots of fear
Bombarded with chlorine, pH, gamma rays
To make us disappear

But we're naturally occurring
Nature pulls our reins
And when there's trouble
We mutate into really virulent strains

We are the microbes, my friend
And we'll keep dividing
Till the end
We are the microbes
We are the microbes
No time for chlorine
Cause we are the microbes
In your food

We'll mess up your kidneys
GI damage we'll do
We go by clostridium, E. coli, salmonella
Just to mention a few

We like sprouts and lettuce
Salami and stew
You'll find us on chicken, soft cheeses, fruit juices
and hamburgers too

We are the microbes, my friend
And we'll keep dividing
Till the end
We are the microbes
We are the microbes
No time for chlorine
Cause we are the microbes

We are the microbes, my friend
And we'll keep dividing
Till the end
We are the microbes
We are the microbes
No time for chlorine
Cause we are the microbes
In your food
