I am a friend of KX05
He told me I could use these songs on my profile as we have the same Biology teacher.
The Lipid Song
(to the tune of camptown races)
(words in parentheses are spoken fast)
The lipid vendors sing this song
doodah...doodah
a lipid molecule is quite long
oh, doodah day
lipids on my thighs
lipids on knees
I get my lipids at Burger King
Sometimes at McD's
It all starts out (with) a glycerol
Doodah,doodah
3 carbons, each (with) an alcohol
Oh, doodah day
Take a fatty acid
Cram it on each one
Now that’s a triglyceride
(and) now we’re having fun
(But) not all fats are made the same
Doodah,doodah
There’s “saturated” in their name
Oh,doodah day
(If it’s got) a double bond
It ain’t saturated
It’s made by plants (and it’s) good for you
Somebody sat “Hooray!”
If it don’t have a double bond
(satu--rated)
(it’ll coat) your arteries all night long
Oh dooday, day
Coat em’ till they crack
Coat em’ till they burst
(You can live) with veggies or die with meat
Which do you think is worse?
Well these things are triglycerides
Doodah, doodah
And through your veins they slip and slide
Oh doodah day
Burn em’ when you sing
Burn em’ when you run
(If you) burn em’ fast then you’ll stay thin
(and) you’ll have lots of fun
There’s other kinds of lipids too
Doodah,doodah
(Like the wax) that you put on your shoe
Oh, doodah dah
Wax is lipid too
Wax is waterproof
It keeps the water out or in
Which you’ll want depends
Well phospho (lipids) (have a) claim to fame
Doodah,doodah
(Cause) they make up your cell membrane
Oh doodah day
Keep the outsides out
Keep the insides in
Your cells they need a good membrane
(It’s) kind of like their skin
And steroids are another kind
Doodah,doodah
For making hormones they are fine
Oh, doodah day
Make testosterone
Making estrogen
They make us who we are today
Make us her or him
(But) some folks will abuse these ones
Doodah,doodah
Inject em right into their bunds
Oh, doodah day
They ain’t very bright
They might die tonight
Or get jerked out of the hall of fame
Who will they have to blame?
So now I know the lipid song
Doodah, doodah
I’m gonna sing it all day long
Oh,doodah day
(At) least until the quid
(and) then if I’m a whiz
Then I won’t need it anymore
Because I’ll know the score
The Carbohydrate Song
One little two little three little carbon
Four five six carbon that makes glucose
Change em' around and then it's glucose
those are structural isomers
Simple sugars are monosaccharides
Two together are diassaccharides
Glucose, frucose, that makes sucrose
mmmmmmm Kelogg's Frosted Flakes (I do not own this company https://www.kelloggs.com/en_US/home.html)
Starch is made of only glucose
Long long chains of only glucose
Glycogen is just like starch
but animals make branches
Cellulose is also glucose
Bonded with a special bond
So nobody can break it down
Except for little microbes
Though all that's green is largely glucose
Eating it's of little use
Unless like Oxen, Cows, and Termites
Germs live in your stomach
