| Lyrics: | FARNESOL
(David Kritchevsky)
Take an acetate,
Condense it with a
mate
Pretty soon you have
Acetoacetate.
Let 'em have a ball
You get
geraniol,
Add another isoprene
And you've got farnesol.
cho: Farnesol,
farnesol, good old farnesol,
First it goes to squalene, then you get cholesterol.
Farnesol, farnesol, good old farnesol,
First it goes to squalene, then you get
cholesterol.
Now squalene makes a roll,
Becomes lanosterol
The extra methyls
do
Come off as CO2;
Then comes zymosterol,
And then desmosterol
If you don't
take Triparanol
You get cholesterol.
