Lyrics
Oh! Here's glycolysis that's EASY they all said
Just ten little steps to memorize before bed
Then pyruvate shows up and says "So where do I go?"
Well oxygen?..... No oxygen? Heck if I know
But don't worry! It's SIMPLE just follow the lines
Ignore the twenty abbreviations and chemical signs
And if you get confused that's perfectly fine
There's only four thousand more pathways to find
Oh, it's EASY!
The Metabolic Map
Every molecule you've ever known
Yet somehow hundreds more (CRAP!)
Oh it's EASY!
The Metabolic Map
All of Human Metabolism if you please
We will give you two weeks (CRAP!)
Here's acetyl-CoA again what a pleasant surprise
I haven't seen him for at least, what, three seconds this time?
He's in fats he's in carbs he's apparently God
I think if I dissected my desk he'd be under the rod
NADH took electrons and ran off somewhere
FADH₂ said, "Don't worry, I'll meet you up there"
"Up where?" I asked. They said "The chain"
Oh, perfect. That clears up absolutely nothing again
Oh, it's EASY!
The Metabolic Map
Every molecule you've ever known
Yet somehow hundreds more (CRAP!)
Oh it's EASY!
The Metabolic Map
All of Human Metabolism if you please
We will give you two weeks (CRAP!)
And look! A pathway!
And look! Another!
This one makes glucose out of something from the other
This one breaks fat, this one makes fat
This one goes backwards apparently screw that!
Oh, it's EASY!
The Metabolic Map
Every molecule you've ever known
Yet somehow hundreds more (CRAP!)
Oh it's EASY!
The Metabolic Map
All of Human Metabolism if you please
We will give you two weeks (CRAP!)
The Metabolic Map
Every molecule you've ever known
Yet somehow hundreds more (CRAP!)
Oh it's EASY!
The Metabolic Map
All of Human Metabolism if you please
We will give you two weeks (CRAP!)
Beta-oxidation!
Gluconeogenesis! (CRAP!)
Methylmalonyl-CoA (CRAP!)
Oh, this is ridiculous!
Ornithine transcarbamylase!
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase!
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (CRAP!)
...Spell check please?
