Happy Mole Day!

(to the tune of "Deck the Halls")

Deck the lab with moles and woodchucks, fa la la la la, la la la la
'Tis the season to earn mole bucks, fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we now our safety glasses, fa la la, la la la, la la la
As we measure weights and masses, fa la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Bunsen burners, fa la la la la, la la la la
Dang'rous to unwary learners, fa la la la la, la la la la
Bunsen burners do require, fa la la, la la la, la la la
Supervision while on fire, fa la la la, la la la la.

Chemists all now join the chorus, fa la la la la, la la la la
Chemistry is not to bore us, fa la la la la, la la la la
It is fun and it is jolly, fa la la, la la la, la la la
Deck the lab with boughs of holly, fa la la la, la la la la.

(Dug up from sophomore year of high school. "Mole bucks" were a form of extra credit. If I didn't get any for singing this in class, I should have.)

Is it "Mole Day" because the date is 10^23 ? (as close as a date can get to Avogadro!!!)

Great song, but it needs more verses. Anything which exalts one of the disciplines, and can be sung while drinking - and this looks great. (Yes, I'm part chemist...)

Not only 10-23, but you must notice that the post was made at 6:02...
