Jennifer’s Malaria Song
February 24th, 2009
Lyrics:
People get malaria when they’re bit by a mosquito
It’s taking lives like a torpedo
Every year one million die worldwide
But you can prevent it with insecticide
Maybe a breakthrough cure for malaria
To starve the parasite was their idea
Every thirty seconds a child dies
Without treatment, it’s no surprise
A family in Africa could be saved by a bug net
Too bad they can’t afford one yet
This treatment fights the drug-resistant kind
Hopefully we can put malaria out of mind
I wish this cure will help people everywhere
I want it to end their nightmare
