I remember when I found out about chemistry
It was a long, long way from here
I was old enough to want it but younger than I wanted to be
Suddenly my mission was clear
So for awhile I conducted experiments
And I was amazed by the things I learned
From the fine, fine girl with nothin but good intentions
And a bad tendency to get burned
Oh, all about chemistry
Won t you show me everything you know
Oh, wonder what you do to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Sometime later I met a young graduate
When I had nobody to call my own
I told her I was looking for somebody to appreciate
And I just couldn t do it alone
So for awhile we conducted experiments
In an apartment by the river road
And we found out that the two things we put together
Had a bad tendency to explode
Oh, all about chemistry
Won t you show me everything you ve learned
I ll memorize everything you do to me
So I can teach it when it comes my turn
Fine spring days
California waves
Sweet pacific scenes
Through the windows of airplanes and hotel rooms
So when I find myself alone and unworthy
I ll think about all the things I ve learned
From the fine, fine women with nothin but good intentions
And a bad tendency to get burned
Oh, all about chemistry
Won t you show me everything you know
Oh, wonder what you do to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, all about chemistry
Won t you show me everything you ve learned
I ll memorize everything you do to me
So I can teach it when it comes my turn
It s all about chemistry
It s all about chemistry
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
