I’ll Be Thin at Christmas

(To the tune of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”)

When cells have lots of ATP and NADH too
They strive to store this energy as sugar, yes they do

(To the tune of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”)

The fatty acids carried by CoA, CoA
Are oxidized inside the mi-to-chon-dri-ay

(To the tune of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”)

Some things that you can build with acetyl-CoAs
Are joined together partly thanks to thiolase

(To the tune of “Yellow Submarine”)

In the cells, inside of us, there’s a sugar on adenine
Which is linked, to phosphate groups, and you know it as ATP

(To the tune of “Hark the Herald”)

Carbohydrates all should sing
Glory to the Haworth ring

(To the tune of “My Sweet Lord”)
In this stream of consciousness song, the background choir’s words are in parentheses

My sweet tooth

(To the tune of “Penny Lane”)

In the catabolic pathways that our cells employ
Oxidations help create the ATP

(To the tune of “America the Beautiful”)

O beautiful with R-N-A
That makes the peptide bonds

(To the tune of “I Got You Babe”)

(She sings)
You went outside and got a chill

(To the tune of “Twinkle, Twinke Little Star”)

Lysine, arginine and his
Basic ones you should not miss
