text: Yo, check it out, I got a tale to tell,
  'Bout beta-thalassemia major, iron overload as well.
  To peep the pancreatic function, we ran a test,
  Measured serum immunoreactive trypsin, we did our best.
  
  We gathered 38 patients with this condition,
  And found somethin' interestin', a real composition.
  In 23 patients, that's sixty percent in sight,
  Their IRT was abnormal, yeah, it ain't right.
  
  Sixteen had subnormal levels, they were low,
  Seven had supranormal, yo, they were on the go.
  Older patients had lower IRT, that's what we found,
  While the younger ones had higher, turnin' heads around.
  
  This data we collected, it's the first of its kind,
  Antemortem evidence of exocrine pancreatic grind.
  Damage to them acinar cells, it's a real shame,
  Startin' with a rise in IRT, then a fall, it's not the same.
