Ayyyyy

[Chrous]
Now Walk It Out
Now Walk It Out
Now Walk It Out
Now Walk It Out
Now Walk It Out
Now Walk It Out
Now Walk It Out

[Verse 1]
Now Hit Da Chem Books
And bring your penicls too.
We gon help you son
Wit dem chirals.
Now what are chirals?
Ah good question son.
They be compounds
In tetrahedral form
Wit two mirror forms
That we like to call
Enantiomers
Non-superimposiable
To tell the difference
Use that R and S
You can use your hands
But first you numba em
Use that one thru four
Around the chiral
To get that one thru four
You gotta walk it out
C-O Walk It Out
C-N Walk It Out
C-C Walk It Out
C-H Walk It Out

[Chrous]

[Verse 2]
C-H always get numba four
Rest assign by weight
Heavy one get numba one
If you gotta tie
Walk ?one? out again
Same cip rules apply
Heavy one wins
Once you got one thru four
You gonna need your hands
Stick your thumbs up
They represent numba four
Then do the wrap around
Wrap your fingers in the
Way of one thru four
If right way fits
R configuration
If left fits
S configuration
Just remember son
R for right
And S for the other
Last scenario
Double or triple bonds
Each count as
Respective number single bonds
Double 2 single bonds
Triple 3 single bonds
