Factor Label It Baby. Song by Michael Offut. They’re evil and vile and wicked, An d they’re assigned every day. I’m talking ‘bout chemistry problems. It seems like they’ll never go ‘way. You read ‘em but can’t understand ‘em, You just want to give up and cry.

Factor Label It Baby Song by Michael Offut
They’re evil and vile and wicked, An d they’re assigned every day. I’m talking ‘bout chemistry problems. It seems like they’ll never go ‘way.
You read ‘em but can’t understand ‘em, You just want to give up and cry. What can you do when you’re ready to quit? There’s one thing left you can try.
Factor-Label it, baby! Cancelling units is fine.
Take out that trusty calculator, Plug ‘n’ chug and you’re done.
It helps you change pounds into grams, Inches to centimeters. You use lots of conversion factors, And it does help make things easier.
They call it dimensional analysis, It’s in you text everywhere, Maybe you don’t understand how it works, But it works, so you don’t really care.
Factor-Label it, baby! Cancelling units is fine.
Take out that trusty calculator, Plug ‘n’ chug and you’re done.
You must include every unit, And make sure your factors make sense, If you get careless your teacher will moan, And accuse you of incompetence.
But when set up perfectly. You could even say it’s sublime. The solution is right there in front of your eyes, All on a single line.
Factor-Label it, baby! Cancelling units is fine.
Take out that trusty calculator, Plug ‘n’ chug and you’re done.
