Ode to Bicarbonate

(To the tune of “Song Sung Blue”) / Recording by David Simmons

H-2-O
Ionizes slowly
You should know
Its behavior wholly

It presides – in cells’ insides – a solvent great
But mix it with an oil and shake it up
You’ll see ‘em separate
See ‘em separate

C-O-2
Made in oxidation
Inside you
Decarboxylation

So divine – when it combines up with the H-2-Os
Bonding together makes bicarbonates
To ease the pH woes

Bicarbonate – can conjugate and take protons out
Restoring a balance inside the blood
Of this there is no doubt

Thus it’s so
Thanks to bicarb buffer
In blood flow
You don’t have to suffer

Bicarbonate – will conjugate to take the protons out
Restoring a balance inside of the blood
Of this there is no doubt

Protons stow
In the bicarb buffer
Never grow
So you do not suffer
(fade)
