Rough Draft for a Song for My New Musical: 'My Fair Laddie'

While in the shower recently I came up with the following song that goes to the tune of 'Loverly' from the musical/movie 'My Fair Lady', only in my case its 'My Fair Laddie', the story of an out of work chemist who longs to go back to his old job or at least his old plant to work. Consider this song incomplete and at rough draft stage, (at best).





Chem-er-stry



All I need is a job somewhere,

Preferably back where there’s stinky air,


‘Cause my nose just wouldn’t care,


Oh, wouldn’t that, be chem-er-stry? (echo: Chem-er-stry?)




Lotza problems for me to solve,


Like, 'why this junk doesn’t wanna dissolve,


Or what it could possibly be,


Oh, have you shot it on a GC?' (echo: a GC?)




It can be a quite an unruly mess


But I can handle it with my GC-MS


Lotza peaks, lotza chemical names


And don’t forget our labor-ra-dory games,


.


.


Who takes good care of you?


An organic chem-er-ist, why, that is who (echo: that is who)
