1. Redox Blues Music and Lyrics by Michael Ouffett

2. I took my car back to the dealer, said “This thing is almost new!”

3. “Just take a look at that fender – it’s almost rusted through!”

4. He said, “You got REDOX, baby, eating at your car!”

5. “You better do something quick before that process goes too far.”

6. REDOX, that’s a chem abbreviation,

7. REDOX, it means reduction-oxidation.

8. That’s what’s got you down, nearly driving you insane,

9. It happens when electrons are lost and gained.

10. Now oxidation is a loss of electrons and reduction is a gain,

11. Oxidation is a loss of electrons and reduction is a gain,

12. But that’s only the beginning, there’s lots more to explain.

13. You see, oxidation and reduction always happen as a pair,

14. Oxidation and reduction always happen as a pair.

15. If you got oxidation, reduction must be there.

16. REDOX, that’s a chem abbreviation,

17. REDOX, it means reduction-oxidation.

18. That’s what’s got you down, nearly driving you insane,

19. It happens when electrons are lost and gained.

20. You see, it’s more than just corrosion, when metals meet the air.

21. REDOX happens when you burn a match, or even bleach your hair.

22. So get the rust off that car and paint it, and put on a happy face,

23. Get the rust off that car and paint it, and put on a happy face.

24. Until you seal it from the air, REDOX will still take place.

25. REDOX, that’s a chem abbreviation,

26. REDOX, it means reduction-oxidation.

27. That’s what’s got you down, nearly driving you insane,

28. It happens when electrons are lost and gained.
