Oh, for the first time in your life
You're asking me for my advice
But don't you dare think I read the book
This homework's not as easy as it looks

You've got graphite on your hand
You've got carbon on your mind
And your head is hurting now
From doing chemistry all the time
And your homework's getting longer
But your patience ticks away
And this test will knock you over
If the half life is in days

What can you do, what can you do to solve it?
What can you do, what can you do?

Oh, you've got a +3 charge
Strike that, you've got a -3
Oh, you've got 11 moles, but
It balances HO-Me

You're knocking on the door
Like you'd rather not find out
Your professor doesn't know
What your question is about
And you never had a clue
What to do when in this class
You would learn about as much
Running outside and eating grass

What can you do, what can you do to solve it?
What can you do, what can you do?
Oh, I don't know, set pH at 1
In this great chemistry lab fun

Oh, draw a 3p orbital
Assume the partial charge is null
Discover 10 brand new ways
To make carbon monoxide go away

You're stuck inside an atom
You're stuck in one orbital
You're stuck inside an atom
Weak nuclear force's pull
You're stuck inside an atom
Unless you form a single bond
You're stuck inside an atom
You're stuck, so donate to some boron

What can you do, what can you do to solve it?
What can you do, what can you do?
Oh, I don't know, set pH at 1
In this great chemistry lab fun

I only catalyze myself
Just me and nobody else
I only catalyze myself
Just me and nobody else

What can you do, what can you do to solve it?
What can you do, what can you do?
What can you do, what can you do to solve it?
What can you do, what can you do?
What can you do, what can you do to solve it?
What can you do, what can you do?
Oh, I don't know, set pH at 1
