Benjamin Chang Sing in the tune of Stairway to Heaven, By: Led Zeppelin: There once were some acid. They can turn Litmus red. They are very sour and burn your skin. Strong metals, fall apart, from Hydrogen ions. With a pH less than seven. Chorus: Ohh~ acids and bases! Ohh~ conducting electricity. Ohh~ acids and bases! Ohh~ neutralizing each other. Acids have some good friends. Their names are bases. Tasting bitter and a little slippery. Litmus paper all blue. More than seven pH. Forming hydroxide ions in solutions. Chorus: Ohh~ acids and bases! Ohh~ conducting electricity. Ohh~ acids and bases! Ohh~ neutralizing each other.
