Lyrics
Just some young postdocs
Trying to make it to the top
One took the midnight tram
Going back to lab
For the past twelve months
Paper's been stuck in review
Ten new experiments
From damn reviewer two
Been working day and night
When there's been no end in sight
Can they keep up the fight
It goes on and on and on and on
Labmates, waiting
For an empty T.C. hood
Biohazards, spilling to the floor
Keyboards, clacking
Trying to find a correlation
Hope those p-values hold up
Lab meeting
Makes postdocs frantic
No data sends them into panic
Paying anything to see that band
Just one more time
Can't make sense, of the data
Somehow it all leads back to TGF-Beta
Oh lab meeting's starting up
It goes on and on and on and on
Tap tap, aspirate
Dispense eject, over and over
Arthritis, carpal tunnel in your future
Lab mates, searching
For that common stock reagent
Someone took that last drop of FBS
Don't stop pipetting
Get those assays working
Last figure's almost complete
Don't stop pipetting
Keep those gels running
You'll get that Cell paper after all
Don't Stop!
