NaCI -

Just a little atom of chlorine

Valence minus one

Swimming through the sea

Diggin' the scene, just havin' fun

She’s not worried about the shape or size of her outside shell

It’s fun to ionize

Just a little atom of Cl with an unfilled shell

Somewhere in that sea

Lurks handsome sodium

With enough electrons on his outside shell

Plus that extra one

Somewhere in this deep blue sea

There’s a negative for his extra energy

Yeah, somewhere in this foam

His positive will find a home

Then unsuspecting chlorine felt the magnetic pull

She looked down and her outside shell was full

Sodium cried, «What a gas!

Be my bride

And I’ll change your name from chlorine to chloride!»

Now the sea evaporates

To make the clouds for the rain and snow

Leaving her chemical compounds

In the absence of H2O

But the crystals that wash upon the shore, they are happy ones

So if you never thought before:

Think of the love that you eat when you salt your meat
