Strumming my brain with elements.
Singing my life with compounds.
Killing me softly with chemistry.
Killing me softly with chemistry.
Telling my whole life in formulas.
Killing me softly with chemistry.

I heard chem sang a good song, I heard chem had a style
And so I came to see chem
And listened for a while…
And there chem was, this ancient fool, stranger to my eyes …
Strumming my my brain with conversions.
Singing my life with equalities.
Killing me softly with chemistry.
Killing me softly with chemistry.
Telling my whole life in equations.
Killing me softly with chemistry.

I felt all flushed with fever, when faced with molarity.
I found the moles of solute / liters of solution and read each one out loud.
I prayed that chem would finish, but it just kept right on …
Giving me crazy problems.
Only chemists could solve.
Killing me softly with chemistry.
Killing me softly with chemistry. Telling my whole life in titration.
Killing me softly with chemistry.

Strumming my my brain with Ph.
Singing my life in KW.
Killing me softly with chemistry.
Killing me softly with chemistry.
Telling my whole life in [H3+0] = [OH-].
Killing me softly with chemistry.

Chem taught as if he knew me.
In all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me….
As if I wasn’t there.
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong…
Strumming my brain with chemical reactions
Singing my life with acids and bases.
Killing me softly with chemistry. Killing me softly with chemistry.
Telling my whole life in conjugated pairs.
Killing me softly with chemistry
Killing me softly …
with chemistry.
