This Biochemistry

(To the tune of “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”)

This bi-o-che-mis-try
Will be the death of me
Oh hear my plea

God knows that I have tried
To learn the glycosides
And all the polysaccharides
Oh let me be

Just what makes muscles sing
Is Cori cycling
Here’s how it goes

Hypoxic muscles make
A wad of lactate
The liver acts to generate
Some new glucose

Regulation is a zoo
PFK one and two
And there is more

Instructors make a fuss
With all their kinases
Like all that a Kardashian does
A crashing bore
