The Amino Alphabet Song
(to the tune of "The Alphabet Song")
Copyright © 2010 Kevin Ahern

I am very pleased that Mr. David Simmons has made a professional recording of this song (complete song downloadable HERE) and others can be downloaded HERE. You will need to unzip the file to release the MP3. I am providing all songs for free download, but hope you will support this effort by purchasing my Metabolic Melody albums or calendar at the URLs at the bottom of the lyrics to this song.

Lysine, arginine and his
Basic ones you should not miss
Ala, leu, val, ile, and met
Fill the aliphatic set
Proline bends and cys has 's'
Glycine's 'R' is the smallest
Then there's trp and tyr and phe
Structured aromatically

Asp and glu's side chains of R
Say to protons "au revoir"
Glutamine, asparagine
Bear carboxamide amines
Threonine and tiny ser
Have hydroxyl groups to share
These twen-TY amino A's
Can combine a zillion ways
