LYRICS:

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond.
I want a girl who knows what's best.
I want a girl with tubes that shut,
And GFP that's always expressed.

I want a girl with the right publications.
Who's fast and thorough and sharp as a tack.
She's setting up her gel box. She's running it with care.
She's touring the facility and taking a Z-stack

I want a girl with a bright scope and a lonnnng lab coat......

I want a girl who gets in early.
I want a girl who stays in late.
I want a girl with uninterrupted microscopy.
Who elevates electrons to an excited state.

With benchtops that shine like justice,
And a room that is darkened with tinted glass
She is fast and thorough and sharp as a tack.
She's touring the facility and taking a Z-stack

I want a girl with a bright scope and a lonnnng lab coat......

I want a girl with a smooth calibration.
I want a girl with good reagents.
At the scope we will meet accidentally.
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pipette.

She wants a scope with an oil objective.
She wants a scope that will get her TIRF.
She's changing her stage from plain to peizo.
She's trading her Nikon for a Zeiss LSM.

I want a girl with a bright scope and a lonnnnggggggggg lab coat......
