Em-PA-thy, em-PA-thy
Heart-warming empathy
When the ceiling falls
Em-PA-thy, em-PA-thy
Serve up the empathy
Em-PA-thy, em-PA-thy
Sing for the deaf
Give with the empathy
Em-PA-thy, em-PA-thy
Smile for the blind
Em-PA-thy, em-PA-thy
Run with the lame
Pile on the empathy
Em-PA-thy, em-PA-thy
Lie with the dead
When the ceiling falls
Empathy warms its own heart
Empathy
(Keep repeating the refrain 'em-PA-thy, em-PA-thy' till your last breath.)
