NaCI Heather Dale

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
