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

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
