Avogadro’s Number is a Huge One

(To the tune of “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime”)

Avogadro’s number is a huge one
Boltzmann’s constant’s rather miniscule
Values differing enormously
As we learned in school

Science numbers need to have dimensions
Size is not the most important thing
Units give the yardsticks needed
For under-STAN-ding

Bridge
It’s taught in the ivory towers
By professors it’s so ballyhooed
Values can have such diff’rent powers
That to know them we must have their magnitudes

One light year’s a really lengthy distance
Grams define the masses high and low
The ohm can measure the resistance
If current should flow

Bridge
One set of factors you SHOULD know
The roots of seven and of three et al
Cannot be expressed as a ratio
Oh these numbers all are quite irration-al

Three point one four one five nine two six five
No end to Pi’s digits it’s absurd
Endlessly reminding me that I’ve
BEEN SO OUT-num-bered
