Subject: Lyr Add: NACL (SODIUM CHLORIDE) (McGarrigle) From: sophocleese Date: 07 Nov 99 - 10:10 PM Got this off a site on Anna and Kate McGarrigle. http://www.mcgarrigles.com/lyrics/the_lyr.html NACL (SODIUM CHLORIDE) Kate McGarrigle, Garden Court Music ASCAP Just a little atom of chlorine, Valence minus one, Swimming through the sea, digging the scene, Just having fun-- She's not worried about the shape or size Of her outside shell. It's fun to ionize-- Just a little atom of Cl With an unfilled shell. But somewhere in that sea lurks Handsome Sodium, With enough electrons on his outside shell Plus that extra one. "Somewhere in this deep blue sea There's a negative For my extra energy. Yes, somewhere in this foam, My positive will find a home." Then unsuspecting Chlorine Felt a magnetic pull. She looked down and her outside Shell was full. Sodium cried, "What a gas! Be my bride, and I'll change your name from Chlorine to Chloride." Now the sea evaporates to make the clouds For the rain and snow, Leaving her chemical compounds in the absence Of H2O, But the crystals that wash upon the shore Are happy ones; So if you never thought before, Think of the love that you eat When you salt your meat. Think of the love that you eat When you salt your meat. |

Subject: Song about SALT From: Melbert Date: 07 Nov 99 - 06:09 PM Having successfully located words to the "Yorkshire couple" let's see if anyone can come up with this one.... About fifteen years ago I heard a group in UK called "Five go off in a Caravan" (Yes, that wwas the Group's name). They started, I believe, as "Six Hands in Tempo". At one point in their set one of their number sang a silly (but clever) ditty about a romance between a molecule of sofium and a molecule of chlorine.... Anyone know it? |
