"The Best of Both Worlds"

Courtney Korf

Song: "The Best of Both Worlds"

Artist: Hannah Montana aka Miley Cyrus

Oh Yeah!
You get the compound set up
But it can change from structure to structure
Undergoing resonance can be kind of fun
The same hybrid but no one ever discovers
In some way you may look different
But on the page you're the same

Chorus
You get the best of both worlds
Whether stable or not
The charge can change up its spot
You get the best of both worlds
Major or minor
You know it's still the best of both worlds

Yeah the best of both worlds

You go to organic lectures ("Is that Dr. P?")
Hear about a few resonance templates
Choosing one may be a little weird (Yeah)
But its cool cuz you will come to know
Applying these may be a little work
But in the end you'll get very far

Chorus
You get the best of both worlds
Make sure the octet is full
And the energy is low
You get the best of both worlds
Put it all together and resonance will be made easy!
