Cell’s Lament

(To the tune of “Yesterday”) / Recording by Tim Karplus

Woe is me
My substrates are losing entropy
Causing gains in Gibbs free energy
Oh I can’t lose no en – tro- py

Re-a-lly
I could use a source of enthalpy
To combat the rise in Delta G
Oh I believe in enthalpy

I crave en-er-gy
Don’t you see?
It’s getting worse

My re-actions all
Soon will stall
And then rever-r-r-se

ATP
It’s the metabolic currency
Guess I’ll spend a bit judiciously
To help reduce the Delta G
Help reduce the Delta G

They strive to store this energy as sugar, yes they do

When I was out in Washington
There was a waiter

A course is a source, of course, of course
Of all of the knowledge that we endorse

Anthem for BB 3-5-0

Have an awful lot of things that we must know - 3-5-0

It’s of this that I’m complaining
