Verse 1: 🎶 Rheumatic fever, it's a scare, After Strep throat, it’s in the air, GAS can strike weeks later on, Heart and joints, the fight ain't gone. Starts with fever, joints feel pain, Red rash, nodules, chorea in the brain, Carditis hits the heart with force, Mitral valve, it takes the course. 🎶 Chorus: 🎶 Oh, oh, oh, Rheumatic Fever’s strong, Know the signs, it don’t take long, From heart to joints, it’s on the move, Catch it early, get in the groove. 🎶 Verse 2: 🎶 Polyarthritis moves around, Swollen joints, pain’s in town, Chorea makes the movements wild, Sydenham’s dance, not mild. Scarring and fibrosis too, Valves becoming stiff, it’s true, Aschoff bodies in the heart, Rheumatic fever plays its part. 🎶 Chorus: 🎶 Oh, oh, oh, Rheumatic Fever’s strong, Know the signs, it don’t take long, From heart to joints, it’s on the move, Catch it early, get in the groove. 🎶 Bridge: 🎶 Treat with penicillin fast, Stop the Strep before it’s cast, Aspirin helps to ease the pain, Corticosteroids can rein. Prevent the fever from coming back, Antibiotics on the track, Long-term care to keep it free, Rheumatic fever ain’t no plea. 🎶 Outro: 🎶 So when you see the signs take heed, Early care’s just what you need, Examine well, and treat it right, Keep rheumatic fever out of sight
