Prostaglandins
To the tune of "Oklahoma!"

Prossss-taglandins
The ei-co-sa-noids creating pain
Are the ones to blame - when you get inflamed
And ouch(!) - they hurt inside your brain
Prossss-taglandins
Every throb and ache gets magnified
If you hope to win, cyclo-oxygen's
Generation's got to be denied

The Vioxx has all been recalled
So go get yourself Tylenol-ed
And if you aaaaaaaaaaaaache
Blame PGH synthaaaaaaaaase!

We must complain that
You make the aches prostaglandins
Prostaglandin - D2, F1, G2, E2
Prostaglandin, it's you
