[Verse 1]

I remember when I found out about chemistry

It was a long, long way from here

I was old enough to want it, but younger than I wanted to be

Suddenly, my mission was clear

So, for a while, I conducted experiments

And I was amazed by the things I learned

From the fine, fine girl with nothing but good intentions

And a bad tendency to get burned

[Chorus]

Ha-ah, all about chemistry

Won't you show me everything you know?

Ha-ah, wonder what you do to me

Oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Some time later, I met a young graduate

When I had nobody to call my own

I told her I was looking for somebody to appreciate

And I just couldn't do it alone

So, for a while, we conducted experiments

In an apartment by the River Road

And we found out that the two things we put together

Had a bad tendency to explode

[Chorus]

Ha-ah, all about chemistry

Won't you show me everything you've learned?

I'll memorize everything you do to me

So I can teach it when it comes my turn

[Bridge]

Fine spring days, California waves

Sweet Pacific scenes

Through the windows of airplanes and hotel rooms

[Verse 3]

So when I find myself alone and unworthy

I think about all of the things I've learned

From the fine, fine women with nothing but good intentions

And a bad tendency to get burned

[Chorus]

Ha-ah, all about chemistry

Won't you show me everything you know?

Ha-ah, wonder what you do to me

Oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

Ha-ah, all about chemistry

Won't you show me everything you've learned?

I'll memorize everything you do to me

So I can teach it when it comes my turn

[Outro]

It's all about chemistry (California waves)

It's all about chemistry, oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's all about chemistry (California waves)

It's all about chemistry, oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh
