"I Am Aspirin"

Danny Nguyen, Jon Imran, Carlos F. Ramos

Song: "Soy un hombre "

Artist: Los Lobos

We are students, will be chemists, and we love that ethanol.
Keeps us going, helps us study, gets us bouncing off the wall.

Got your salicylic acid, and your acetic anhydride
Drink some aspirin in the morning,
Makes hangovers go bye bye

Ay ya ya ya hangovers are gone,
Take some more aspirin and have some more fun.
Ay ya ya ya hangovers are gone,
Take some more aspirin and have some more fun.

If you are having some heart problems
And getting no satisfaction
Take a small bit of aspirin
From an esterification reaction

Just follow your arrow pushes
and don't forget catalyst.
Because without a proton donor
There can be no aspirin

Ay ya ya ya heart problems are gone
Take some more aspirin and have some more fun.

Ay ya ya ya heart problems are gone
Take some more aspirin and have some more fun.
