Radioactive Caesium will lodge in
Muscles and
Probably be eliminated this I Understand
But radioactive Strontium lodges in the bone
And stays there for a lifetime
Yes, we are on our own
Our cells will be irradiated
Every single day
Calcium’s essential
And it’s really going to pay
To keep those levels up
For otherwise, if not
We may uptake the strontium
And that will be our lot
