"Electron Dance"

CcccAaaaRrrrBbbbOoooNnnn
Electron Dance

We can bond if we want to
We will need to hybridize
'Cause there's three atoms that would like to share a bond
Which means sp2 is wise
I say, one bond is a double
Made of sigma and a pi
And it turns out that the carbon bonded next door
Has become anionized
And it can move

It can stay if it wants to
But it rather stabilize
And when electrons dance its called resonance
To delocalize the pi
Say, it works well with a plus charge
Or even with a radical
And when you've got allylic carbons on hand
This will then be applicable
For resonance
(Structures)
(Move that double bond)

Benzene for example
Is an aromatic compound
And its electrons therefore are conjugated
In a system where they flow around
Say, we can't draw it if we want to
Unless we show both forms by rule
And this is where resonance then comes in to play
To represent the real molecule

Say, resonance, resonance
Stabilize our molecule
Resonance, resonance
We're doing it from node to node
Resonance, resonance
Everybody now knows how
Resonance, resonance
Everybody's doing the dance
(Dance)

We can bond if we want to
The benzene ring is open game
And with substituents that are already present
Direction is the single aim
I say, para, meta, or ortho
Which position will it go?
And if we want to find out we'll use resonance
To find the path that we must follow

I say, resonance, resonance
Stabilize our molecule
Resonance, resonance
We're doing it from node to node
Resonance, resonance
Everybody now knows how
Resonance, resonance
Everybody's doing the dance
