It’s almost 4:30 and it’s time to go
Way-hey, blow the lab down
So ditch all those test tubes, go play in the snow
Give ‘em some time, they’ll blow the lab down

Ethanol’s plentiful and fun to drink*
But it’s denatured, quick head for the sink

Ammonia and iodine in the same place
Spontaneously will end up in your face

Assistants are human, they all have their price
They’re willing to give you so much more than advice

Exam time is coming and papers are due
No more nights on the town
So hand in those labs and let us study too
If you don’t soon, we’ll grade your labs down
