The Vision Thing

(To the tune of “Star Spangled Banner”) / Recording by David Simmons

Did you know you can see?
In the dimmest of light
With your rods and your cones
And their retinaldehyde

Found in rhodopsin it’s
Got a bond shaped as cis
But it changes its state
When a photon gets it straight

Then the sign’ling kicks in
Thanks to a transducin
Cuz its GTP ways
Turn on diesterase

So gated ion channels stop
Charges from passing through
Such as sod-i-um plus one
And cal-ci-um plus two
