The Scurvy Song

Vsauce! Kevin here
Scurvy
Does the centuries-long search for it's cause and cure
Show us how life-saving knowledge can
Be hidden right in front of our faces?
Yes

We need to find a way to see
What everybody else has seen
But think
What nobody else has thought
To move beyond limitations
Like when we cured that weird thing that pirates got
A solution that can revolutionise life as we know it
Exist outside of our own kiddie pool
The greatness in each of us lies
In our ability to make a different world
With different rules
Just like we did with scurvy
And vitamin C
Just like we did with scurvy
And vitamin C

Scurvy is a desease caused by deficiencies
Of ascorbic acid known as vitamin C
Which could probably benefit zombies
Zombies
Zombies with vitamin C deficiencies

It's necessary
For iron absorption
Red blood cells production
To help carry oxygen
And the formation of collagen
And connecting tissues
The cure is right in front of you
Fresh vegetables and fruits

Find a way to see
What everybody else has seen
But think
What nobody else has thought
To move beyond limitations
Like when we cured that weird thing that pirates got
A solution that can revolutionise life as we know it
Exist outside of our own kiddie pool
The greatness in each of us lies
In our ability to make a different world
With different rules
Just like we did with scurvy
And vitamin C
Just like we did with scurvy
And vitamin C

Thighs back and gangrenous
Use mi knife on my gums
Cut away this dead flesh to release this
Black and putrid blood to flow
Desiring more to swallow (to swallow)
Red blue spots on the skin
Pain in the limbs
Black bike and phlegm
I rinse my mouth with my urine
My urine
Scurvy is a bad disease

So we need it to see
What everybody else has seen
But think
What nobody else has thought
To move beyond limitations
Like when we cured that weird thing that pirates got
A solution that can revolutionise life as we know it
Exist outside of our own kiddie pool
The greatness in each of us lies
In our ability to make a different world
With different rules
Just like we did with scurvy
And vitamin C
Just like we did with scurvy
And vitamin C
Just like we did with scurvy
And vitamin C
Just like we did with scurvy
And vitamin C
