Greetings arenes
Lets make a preservative
(Verse 1)
I know a compound
with a smell so much sweeter
cyclic, benzene ring
how wrong was kekule?
not two-oo isomers,
just one resonance hy-brid
for he
wracked his brain
trying to figure this thing ou-ut.
you could react other compounds
but nothing comes close
to an aromatic ring
once you stabilize with us
you won’t go anti-aromatic
ooooooh oh oooooh
(Chorus)
Aromatic rings
we’re unreactive
alter-nating bonds
we’re very cyclical
unhybridized orbitals
so planar
we’ll not decolorize
oooooh oh oooooh
Aromatic rings
we have directing groups
an-nul-enes
you are one of us
benzene represent
switch your bonds around
Ooooooh oh oooooooh
(Verse 2)
groups on our rings
alternating double bonds
we move
them around
Directing them where to go-oo
you could react other compounds
but nothing comes close
to an aromatic ring
once you stabilize with us
you won’t go anti-aromatic
ooooooh oh oooooh
Aromatic rings
we’re unreactive
alter-nating bonds
we’re very cyclical
unhybridized orbitals
so planar
we’ll not decolorize
oooooh oh oooooh
