"Livin as a Chair"

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

It used to be my brain was in knots
This molecule I dislike
I was really stuck...it's tough, so tough
But then I worked on it all day
Working with the carbons, I started to say
Oh Cyclohexane, Oh Cyclohexane

I say we've got 6 axial in the perpendicular spots
'Cause it really makes a difference
If we relive the strain or not
Around the equator is the equatorial lot
For cyclohexane � we'll find them a spot

[Chorus:]
Whooah, crazy carbons everywhere
Livin' as a chair
I don't rearrange 'cause the strain - I can bear
Livin' as a chair

Its pucker to relive any strain
So many conformations when it
Flips, it rocks- so tough, it's tough
The boat seems to be the way
Although this can cause some torsional strain
But it's okay, its just one way

We've got 6 axial in the perpendicular spots
'Cause it really makes a difference
If we relive the strain or not
Around the equator is the equatorial lot
For cyclohexane � we'll find them a spot

[Chorus]

It's insoluble in water, believe it or not
This molecule is tight when you give it a shot

[Chorus]
