Mucocilia
Words: Brooke Lunderville (2005). To the tune of: Cecilia, Paul Simon.
In the first version I called salbutamol a corticosteroid. How embarassing! Oh those frisky short-acting beta agonists. That's albuterol to you americans. If you're not congested enough to snork properly at the end, consider spitting. But not in a hotel! That's not nice.
