Inside of the lungs It picks up the bait

And changes itself from T to R state Hemoglobin's moving around

Pulling up on histidine

The binding occurs Cooperatively

Thanks to changes qua-ter-nar-y Hemoglobin's moving around

It exits the lungs Engorged with O2

The proton concentration Is high and has a role

Between the alpha betas It finds imidazole

To empty their loads The globins decree

"We need to bind 2,3BPG" Hemoglobin's moving around

The stage is thus setFor grabbing a few

Cellular dumps of CO2Hemoglobin's moving around

And then inside the lungs it Discovers ox-y-gen

And dumps the CO2 off To start all o'er again

So see how this works You better expect

To have to describe the Bohr effect Hemoglobin's moving around

The globins’ shapes will change a bit,oh what a sight to see

The way they bind to oxygenco-op-er-AH-tive-ly

And as I exit from the lungsto swim in the bloodstreamMetabolizing cells they allexpress their needs to meTo them I give up oxygenand change from R to T

While my amines, they hang ontothe protons readily

To nudge the irons up a notchand yank on histidines

The globins’ shapes will change a bit,oh what a sight to see

The way they bind to oxygenco-op-er-AH-tive-ly

And as I exit from the lungsto swim in the bloodstreamMetabolizing cells they allexpress their needs to meTo them I give up oxygenand change from R to T

While my amines, they hang ontothe protons readily

But that's not all the tricks I know,there's more that’s up my sleeve

Like gaps between sub-U-nits thathold 2,3-BPG

When near met-a-bo-LI-zing cells,I bind things that diffuse

The protons and bicarbonatesfrom lowly cee oh twos

CHORUS

That’s the way it isWhen your cells are at play

Go say hip hip hoorayFor the bloody things
