The Molecular Shape of You

A dot isn't the best way to try to sum up how electrons come and go They are the states of a matter field That follows an equation that Dirac wrote The Schrödinger part of the whole equation will just lead In sub-c when it expands Now get that Coulomb and add it in with a proton And watch them start to dance As hydrogen, it's like "Oh, proton, I feel your tug" Central potential dip down, pulling on me But I'm not falling in deep No, that would break uncertainty Say, oh Electrons move too much Slow down your pace and put that orbit on me Come on now, follow my lead Come, come on now, follow my lead Orbitals take the shape they do As stable states of the quantum rules And when a one approaches two They combine and they're bonding Thus, hydrogen as a rule Is found in nature as H2 Energy configuring a molecule Diatomically bonding Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high Diatomically bonding Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high Diatomically bonding Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high Diatomically bonding Energy configuring a molecule When orbitals take the shape they do One half spin'll give a lepton a twin One up one down in the ground state With S and P in quadruple degeneracy The second shell can be filled up with eight The higher angular powers spread out like beautiful flowers In middle families, they come into play Well here's a carbon with 6E This ain't nothing tricksy But we're gonna make some methane today With hydrogen, it's like "Oh, atoms, I feel your tug" Got my electrons bugged out, pulling on me Come on now, settle 'round me I'll hybridize to SP3 Say, oh Carbon here's our touch Spread out one-oh-nine-point-four-seven degrees Come on now, follow our lead Come, come on now, follow our lead Molecules take the shape they do Combining states of the quantum rules Like when a shell goes SP2 For sigma pi double bonding And as widely as their purview They spread out in the molecule Look at benzene in a ring, they hold it true Aromatically bonding Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high Aromatically bonding Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high Aromatically bonding Low, high, low, high, low, high, low, high Aromatically bonding Look at benzene in a ring, they hold it true When orbitals take the shape they do Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond Polymers take the shape they do Combining base-level residues Like RNA's ACGU Look, they're hydrogen bonding Peptides make a chain and group In beta pleat sheets and corkscrews With these secondary links, they fold and move They're all over your body Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond (They're all over your body) Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond (They're all over your body) Come bond with me, baby, come bond Come bond with me, baby, come bond (They're all over your body) You're a chemical machine, it's best you knew That molecules take the shape of you
