"Bond With You"

Betsy, Kevin, Daniel

Song: "With you "

Artist: Chris Brown

(Bromide):
I need to move, 'cause I'm a leaving group
And there's bonds all over the world to make
Yeah, there's bonds all over that gotta break
(2x)

(Alkyl halide):
Hey little halogen, ooh you're a stunner
Hot little leaver, yes you're a winner
I'm so glad that you're gone, 'cause
Now I can make some better bonds and
Hey there, Hydroxide, won't you be mine?
Don't want a ketone, or an aldehyde
This bond is really all
We need to be an alcohol

You mean to me what I mean to you
And together, OH, there's nothing we can't do
'Cause if i got you
I don't need alkenes
I don't need halides
We're an Alcohol!

(Chorus):
And -OH, I'll bond with you
-OH, no one else will do
With every electron and every bond
You make us an alcohol and we....
We don't need a halogen
I bet there's alkyls everywhere that wanna bond
Alkyls everywhere that wanna bond
With you with you with you with you with you
With you with you with you with you with you

Grignard!
You can help us make the bond
without you, it'll probably be hard
You're the reagent to our mechanism
We wanna bond and it cannot wait
Hey CH3, say you'll bond with Mg
And any halide that you'd like
You know we'll bond right
And create R-Mg-X
And carbonyl will complete the game

'Cause if I got you
I don't need alkenes
I don't need halides
We're an Alcohol!

(Chorus):
And -OH, I'll bond with you
-OH, no one else will do
With every electron and every bond
You make us an alcohol and we....
We don't need a halogen
I bet there's alkyls everywhere that wanna bond
Alkyls everywhere that wanna bond
With you with you with you with you with you
With you with you with you with yo
