The Ribosome
(To the tune of America the Beautiful)

I am very pleased that Mr. Tim Karplus 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.

O beautiful with R-N-A
To make the peptide bonds
You hold t-RNA so it
Can pair up with co-dons
The Ribosome! The Ribosome!
Translate mRNA
Initiate and translocate
From start to UGA
