MoIes of the Round TabIe

2011 Michael Offutt

Verse 1

Once there was a land filled with darkness
They say that evil forces had control
No one ever heard of Avogadro
and, no one knew the power of the "mole
So a band of knights appeared and built a kingdom
They called this special place, Chem-alot
And they made a vow to make the mole famous
to sally forth and give it all they've got
to sally forth and give it all they've got

Chorus
Moles of the Round Table, we are strong and able
We'll give it all we've got, 'cause we like Chem-alot
We'll stand up for the mole, and with all our heart and soul
shout until it's heard. . . six times ten to the twenty-third



Verse 2
nstead of armor we wear lab coats and goggles
nstead of swords, test tubes are our tools
We don't have a code of chivalry
But we do have a list of safety rules
We'll venture out to balance all equations
And use the power of stoichiometry
We'll show our work and circle every answer
and hold our calculators high for all to see.
Hold 'em up
hold our calculators high for all to see

Chorus


Verse 3
There are some significant figures in Chem-alot
Like Merlin, he's got a lot of class
He'll wave his wand and say "PV equals nRT!
'm telling you, he really is a gas
And there was a scandal in the kingdom
An affair that two lovers had to hide
Finally they were bonded in marriage
Sir Sodium and Princess Chloride.
Sir Sodium and Princess Chloride.
