Good Titrations -- Ode to a Lab Partner
Kurt Wood and Jeff Lederman
(University of California, Davis 1977)

Ah! I love the color of pink you get,
And the way the acid drips from your burette
All the painful things in life seem alien
As I mix in several drops of phenolphthalein.
I'm pickin' up good titrations
She's given' me neutralisations
Dew drop drop, good titrations...

I look at you and drift away;
The ruby red turns slowly to rose
You gaze at me and light my fire
As drop on drop falls on the Erlenmeyer...
I'm pickin' up good titrations
She's given' me neutralisations
Dew drop drop, good titrations...

I look longingly to your eyes,
But you stare down at the lab bench in surprise
Gone our love before it grew much sweeter
'Cause we passed the end point by a milimeter
I'm pickin' up good titrations
She's given' me neutralisations
Dew drop drop, good titrations...
