The Molar Express 
Š 2009 Mike Offutt

(Train sounds/whistle segue into chords)


(chorus) 
Get on board, get on board
Get on board, that molar express
The mole is your ticket to success
So get on board that molar express


Chemistry can be so cruel,
So many concepts, facts and rules
Equations that make no sense
And problems that are too intense

Itšs a like a long long journey for your brain
But you don't have to walk because there's a train
And the mole is your ticket to success
so get on board that molar express

Get on board, get on board
Get on board, that molar express
The mole is your ticket to success
So get on board that molar express


The unit called the "mole" can help you count 
Very tiny things in very large amounts 
like atoms, ions and even molecules
Hey, the mole is a very useful tool


The number in a mole, you may have heard 
is six point oh two times ten the twenty third
Memorize it now and I suggest
youšre right on track for that molar express

Get on board, get on board
Get on board, that molar express
The mole is your ticket to success
So get on board that molar express

(instrumental)


Therešs molar mass, molar volume and molarity 
You might say moles abound in chemistry
So why not get ahead all the rest 
and get on board that molar express


Get on board, get on board
Get on board, that molar express
The mole is your ticket to success
So get on board that molar express
get on board that molar express

(trains sounds and spoken: "All aboard!")
