Blue To Red Ac-ed Lyrics
Blue to red, ac-ed, blue to red, ac-ed
It's got a quasi-rhyme so you never will for-get
Blue to red, ac-ed, blue to red, ac-ed
He talks like Fire Marshall Bill
Blue to red, ac-ed, blue to red, ac-ed
And if you just can get it into your little head
Blue to red, ac-ed, blue to red, ac-ed
Acts like that scientist on Sesame Street

Hi. My friend Chris wrote this.
This is about those crazy high school chemistry videos, "World of Chemistry." The host was an old, mellow gentleman Roald Hoffmann. In sharp contrast was his sidekick, the crazy Donald Showalter, who performed the demonstrations. The experiment in question was how litmus paper changed colors when it reacted with a basic or acidic solution. "The litmus paper turns red. Here, let me help you remember that. Blue to red.. ac-ed." Of course, he did the experiment with a base as well, with disappointing results. "Red to blue... base," he says slightly dejectedly, as if he laments there is no easy rhyme.
