Okay, here it is... H2SO4.

 This is just a rough, one off, recording with a few mistakes in the riff and the words, so here are the lyrics...

I want to be a science teacher
In a secondary school.
In a lab of my own
With a Periodic Table on the wall.
With all sorts of bottles and tubes
I’d use a beaker as a coffee cup.
I’d have a set of Bunsen Burners
And matches to light them all up.
I’d be the master of my laboratory
I’d hang my white coat from a hook on the door.
And if I needed the lavatory
I’d try not to spill uric acid on the floor.


Chorus:

Science teacher in Room 24
A key to every cupboard and drawer.
Which ionic compound shall I choose today?
H2SO4.

I’d get to know my acids from my bases
By counting the hydrogens.
I’d draw ions with little faces
And hang them up with pins.


Chorus:

Science teacher in Room 24
A key to every cupboard and drawer.
Which ionic compound shall I choose today?
H2SO4.


I’d hand out books on the Solar System
And point out the Earth and the Sun.
On a tripod I’d heat up some diluted acid
Just to make life more fun.

Chorus:

Science teacher in Room 24
A key to every cupboard and drawer.
Which ionic compound shall I choose today?
H2SO4.
REPEAT CHORUS



And here's the video...

Yeah. I like that. I like T-Bone Burnett, John Prine, Randy Newman and others like that and this song is, to me, in that genre. Definitely needs publishing.





The 'Spanish' intro made me expect Clint Eastwood to ride in to town but then, I'm a Western fan.

Good stuff.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Very kind. Just a joke song.
