 The Chemistry Teacher's Coming to Town

 You better not weigh
 You better not heat
 You better not react
 I'm telling you now
 The Chemistry Teacher's coming to town.

 He's collecting data
 He's checking it twice
 He's gonna find out
 The heat of melting ice
 The Chemistry Teacher's coming to town.

 He sees you when you're decanting
 He knows when you titrate
 He knows when you are safe or not
 So wear goggles for goodness sake.

 Oh, you better not filter
 And drink your filtrate
 You better not be careless and spill your precipitate.
 The Chemistry Teacher's coming to town.



 I'm Dreaming of a White Precipitate


 I'm dreaming of a white precipitate
 just like the ones I used to make
 Where the colors are vivid
 and the chemist is livid
 to see impurities in the snow.

 I'm dreaming of a white precipitate
 with every chemistry test I write
 May your equations be balanced and right
 and may all your reactions be bright.



 Silent Labs

 Silent labs, difficult labs
 All with math, all with graphs
 Observations of colors and smells
 Calculations and graph curves like bells
 Memories of tests that have past
 Oh--how long will chemistry last?

 Silent labs, difficult labs
 All with math, all with graphs
 Lots of equations that need balancing
 Gas pressure problems that make my head ring
 Santa Chlorine's on his way
 Oh--Please Santa bring me an 'A'.



 Deck the Labs

 Deck the labs with rubber tubing
 Fa la la la la, la la la la.
 Use your funnel and your filter
 Fa la la la la, la la la la.
 Don we now our goggles and aprons
 Fa la la la la, la la la la.
 Before we go to our lab stations
 Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 Fill the beakers with solutions
 Fa la la la la, la la la la.
 Mix solutions for reactions
 Fa la la la la, la la la la.
 Watch we now for observations
 Fa la la la la, la la la la.
 So we can collect our data
 Fa la la la la, la la la la.



 The Twelve Days of Chemistry

 On the first day of chemistry
 My teacher gave to me
 A candle from Chem Study.

 (second day) two asbestos pads
 (third day) three little beakers
 (fourth day) four work sheets
 (fifth day) five golden moles
 (sixth day) six flaming test tubes
 (seventh day) seven unknown samples
 (eighth day) eight homework problems
 (ninth day) nine grams of salt
 (tenth day) a ten page test
 (eleventh day) eleven molecules
 (twelfth day) a twelve point quiz



 Test Tubes Bubbling

 (to the tune of Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)

 Test tubes bubbling in a water bath
 Strong smells nipping at your nose.
 Tiny molecules with their atoms all aglow
 Will find it hard to be inert tonight.

 They know that Chlorine's on its way
 He's loaded lots of little electrons on his sleigh
 And every student's slide rule is on the sly
 To see if the teacher really can multiply.

 And so I offer you this simple phrase
 To chemistry students in this room
 Although it's been said many times, many ways
 Merry molecules to you.
