Lyrics:
If we break you down you’re made of sugars that’s why you’re sweet to me,
And if we break me down I’m made of Carbon Like every living thing.
I’m not a fancy dancer, you’re not a troubled blonde,
But with some hybridization we make one fine double bond.
You make me weak force in the knees, I’m attracted to your polarity,
And the more I know you the more I want to tie the knot of our string theories.
You make my blood Boyle. That’s B. O. Y. L. E.
He was the king of hot gas back in the 17th century
You and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free tonight?
Love can be an acid, and love can be a base.
Love can be a gas or solid, even supercritical state.
Oh, love is a reaction that needs no catalyst.
It makes our life so golden, unlike those alchemists.
You and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free tonight?
O-O, O-O, (oxygen)
O-O, O-O-O, (ozone)
O-O, N-N-O, (Ha ha ha!)
O-O, Oh no!
When the universe is ending, and we’re heading for the big freeze,
When it’s minus 459.67 degrees,
After all the words are spoken, after all the songs are sang,
We’ll release our love’s energy and start another big bang!
You and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free tonight?

Blowing kisses from afar,
There's love inside this yellow star,
Hot enough to fuel the sun,
Hydrogen to Helium
VSEPR VSEPR in my ear
If I'm to bond with you my dear
The Sol's reaction now made clear
Hydrogen to Helium
Share a particle with me
And you'll see what we're meant to be
Energy can't come from one
Hydrogen to Helium
Fusion bonds and fission breaks
And I've regretted both mistakes
Yet I'd still take this chance to make
Hydrogen to Helium
Radiation around them grows
Soon every other atom knows
Disrupting equilibrium
Hydrogen to Helium
Helium to Hydrogen
It's time to split you back again,
But I can't bear to lose this friend
Hydrogen to Helium
Now every particle can see
This pure new form of energy
Half the process left undone
Hydrogen to Helium
Nebula is what we got
No longer star but just as hot
'Cause love's our fuel and we've a lot
Hydrogen to Helium
This is something new to me
Says he and she with kiss agree,
The quantum level marriage of
Hydrogen to Helium
As we've known it all along,
The weak forces become the strong,
And they have found that they belong
Hydrogen to Helium

If I were a Humboldt penguin
I'd probably live in Peru
I'd waddle around under the sky
And look at all the things I can do
If I were a penguin
I could not fly but I sure could swim
If I were a penguin
If I were a little blue penguin
I'd spend all my days in New Zealand
It's so green and there are so many sheep
And that's where I'd do my eating
If I were a penguin
I could not fly but I sure could swim
If I were a penguin
If I were an emperor penguin
I'd live in Antarctica
I'd travel for miles to find a place to breed
And then I'd waddle back to the sea
If I were a penguin
I could not fly but I sure could swim
If I were a penguin
Penguin comes from the word penguis
Which is the Latin word for fat
There are many different kinds of penguins
But they're all great and that's a fact
Some are small and some are tall
And some are black and some are blue
But if you're like me and you love them all
Conservation is important to you, too
If I were a penguin
I could not fly but I sure could swim
If I were a penguin

Lithologists look at rocks, Anthropologists study human folks
Gastroenterologists study your guts, and know some Scatological jokes
Meteorologists predict the weather, but not very well
Climatologists can tell us that our Earth is going to straight to Hell
But when it comes to you, boy,
No matter how I’ve tried,
I can’t figure you out.
I need a study guide!
CHORUS:
Is there an -ology of you?
Is there an -ology of you?
Your psychology
And your biology
Are still a mystery, it’s true.
Paleontologists dig up fossils to put on museum shelves
Herpetologists study reptiles, though it sounds like something else
Dermatologists look at skin and Ichthyologists study fish
Entomologists study insects, but that wouldn’t be my wish
I’d rather study you, boy,
But I just don’t know how.
Your subject I don’t understand;
I need a tutor, now!
[CHORUS]
This lack of comprehension
Makes me feel so low.
I wish Phrenology were real,
‘Cause then your skull could tell me all I need to know...
Ornithologists study birds, most of which can fly
Theologists study bullies who live up in the sky
Cartologists make maps, Anaesthesiologists make you numb
Astrologists make up crap that you’ll believe if you are dumb
But I just can’t believe, boy,
How hard you are to learn.
I’m always on your waiting list
When is it gonna be my turn?
[CHORUS]

I wish the universe was cyclical
from bang to crunch
I wish the universe was steady state
always is and always was
But I can't escape the fact
That the universe is flat
and it's always gonna be spreading out
until the very fires in the stars go out
until the universe is one big cosmic drought
But we'll all be dead by then
we'll all be dead by then
we'll all be dead by then
we'll all be dead
I go all nihilist
when I think of things like this
like the galaxies as such a distance
for instance
but then again, what is existence
but a spec of cold indifference
when we'll all be dead by then
we'll all be dead by then
we'll all be dead by then
we'll all be dead
Dark energy and entropy
will be the end of all we see
Nothing lasts forever
but the cold and empty never

(Animals need conserving, and science can help)
Science can save the sloths, the hippos, and the wooly mammoths
We need to conserve this planet, it's all we got
and the way to conserve this planet is with science
Science can save the sloths, the hippos, and the wooly mammoths
when I say “this world” I also mean the oceans
and all the awful things in it
...the awful, awful things...
Science can save the sloths, the hippos, and the wooly mammoths
trees need conserving too
even bitey bugs need science
Science can save the sloths, the hippos, and the wooly mammoths
we don't have another planet to live on,
so lets show the aliens we are deserving this one
Save the bigfoot
Save the bigfoot

the menagerie was no good for me too sorted orders of diversity points connected on genome lines extinction events bumper crop times
royal collection under popular blade luxury establishments on the downfade court palace park the moat monsters wade
illustrate power thru lovely rare money bird
Charlemagne's three
monkeys bears camels and scared falcon turds
Abul-Abbas was his Elephant from Asia sent by the Caliph
to curry favor King John had those leopards from Fred
see the white bears for three half pence or a dog to feed to the lions instead
hence young pups never grow as such into venerable scions
gathered instead under all open skies all waves overlapped
fields a fires and beaches under sand
all peaks over land grand plan or lucky branch matters not against
the whole seen as wide lens fire ant clan to prairie dog dens
griffin fight in the fish school beluga runs the drift pool
jackal laughs like the full moon silverback snapped
killed the intruding males offspring
shark fins cut the current deep upwards tilt the packs of bubbles
only owl on hunters perch sees the mouse as cure for hunger
leapfrog leapt and landed on rock paused and slept and got et by the hawk
loyal dog followed man thru peat and bog passage high and lost lands
low tight held chances with rabbits colored as snow
dolphin group was clicking in sport at feeder fish with dorsal swish
long live the dodo dodo dead ding dong song bells for
troughs and swells remember them well they rose and then fell
alive for an hour and then petroleum power one day maybe frack us
too future sky will it be blue will bird still dart and zoom
may mammal become something quite different laser eyes
cloning friends mechanical peacock feather bot extravagant deluxe
painstaking replicant does fawns and bucks
hyena replacement advanced rearrangement stocked ponds with bottled prawns
plastic shrimps and recorded songs this was the way
the food chain had to be
gulp the krill to get the fill perfect balance on
energies till in and out nurtured soil overkill broken pelican bill
collected anew and exploited until
our own cage collapses and finally sits still

I drink too much coffee but it makes me feel good to have a habit I can talk about in public
and I try to reach out to my friends but they're busy, if I find a homeless, that'll cut it
people say I'm average at writing blog posts but I don't use blogspot or wordpress
Bob has never been to Sweden but he's eaten Kalles tubes and he hasn't seen a man in a dress
This is what we meant when we said tetrapoda and we love all anurans but frogs
and you have to understand the history of carnivorans if you wanna know the premise of dogs
Nontetrapod craniates
Nonamniote synapsids (no such thing)
Noncetacean artiodactyls
I forgot to bring a napkin

Oh Raven, what you done
I long to see you but you're gone
The wind has wrapped you in its wings
And taken you to finer things
Taken you away.
Oh Raven, where you gone
I long to hear you greet the morn
The raucous cadence of your song
Commands the hillsides loud and strong
But you've gone away
Oh Raven, I still yearn
Shall I wait for your return
Or should I see another one
To warm my side when day is done
Since you've gone away
