Hark the Sucrose
(to the tune of "Hark the Herald")

Tim Karplus' recording HERE

Carbohydrates all should sing
Glory to the Haworth ring

Anomeric carbons hide
When they're in a glycoside

Glucopyranose is there
In the boat or in the chair

Alpha, beta, D and L
Di-astere-omer hell

Alpha, beta, D and L
Di-astere-omer hell
