how can I not post this?
I feel like I've been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights;
Waiting for some base
To react with.
Your ethoxide ion is blowing electrons my way
But that don't mean I?m gonna give my alpha hydrogen away;
Base-y, base-y, base-y.
(Base-y, base-y, base-y.)
Oh whoa...
My carbonyl's saying go.
Oooh...
And my alpha carbon is saying so.
If you wanna be with me, base-y, there's a price you pay.
I'm an alpha carbon, you gotta rub my hydrogens the right way.
If you wanna react with me, I can make your wish come true.
You gotta come attack me base-y, I gotta like what you do.
I'm an alpha carbon base-y.
Gotta rub my hydrogens the right way.
I'm an alpha carbon base-y.
Come, come, come activate me.
Beaker's full and conditions are right,
I need a carbonyl and the product's in sight;
Waiting for some base
To react with me.
The enolate is attacking the carbonyl right,
Tetrahedral intermediate is now in sight;
Base-y, base-y, base-y.
(Base-y, base-y, base-y.)
Oh whoa...
My carbonyl's saying go.
Oh whoa...
And my alpha carbon is saying so.
If you wanna be with me, base-y, there's a price you pay.
I'm an alpha carbon, you gotta rub my hydrogens the right way.
If you wanna react with me, I can make your wish come true.
Come tautomerize me, base-y, and I'll be with you.
I'm an alpha carbon, base-y.
Gotta rub my hydrogens the right way.
I'm an alpha carbon, base-y.
Come, come, come activate me.
Oh whoa...
My carbonyl's saying go.
Oh whoa...
And my alpha carbon's saying so.
If you wanna react with me, base-y, there's a price you pay.
I'm an alpha carbon, you gotta rub my hydrogens the right way.

Come, come, come activate me.
