Anthem for BB 3-5-0

(To the tune of “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain”) / Recording by David Simmons

Oh the students taking BB 3-5-0 – 3-5-0
Have an awful lot of things that we must know – 3-5-0
With acetic acid buffer
Kevin Ahern makes us suffer
The exams could not be tougher 3-5-0 –3-5-0

There’s amino acid side chains to recall – 3-5-0
And the things it takes to make cholesterol – 3-5-0
Anabolic catabolic
Kevin Ahern’s diabolic
I’m becoming alcoholic 3-5-0 -3-5-0

There must be a way to jam into my head – 3-5-0
All the metabolic enzyme names I dread – 3-5-0
Can you help me learn the spaces
Where the endonucleases
Cut the DNA in places 3-5-0 -3-5-0

I must find a way to make a better grade
Or my GPA will truly get waylaid
I shall overcome frustration
To achieve my aspiration
On the last examination 3-5-0, 3-5-0

Here’s the plan I made to help me to succeed
Fill the notecard with the knowledge I will need
I’ve put all of Ahern’s quotes
Along with what each one denotes
Onto a massive stack of notes for 3-5-0, 3-5-0

So there’s just one teensy problem I must fix
It requires some very skillful penman tricks
Squeezing info I must store
Onto the card he gave before
Will mean a font the size of zero point one four

Oh the students taking BB 3-5-0 – 3-5-0
Have an awful lot of things that we must know – 3-5-0
With acetic acid buffer
Kevin Ahern makes us suffer
The exams could not be tougher 3-5-0 –3-5-0
