Glucose
Glucose - oh, sugar sugar - You are my favorite fuel From the blood-borne substrate pool.

You're sweeter than a woman's kiss 'Cause I need  you for glycolysis.
I just can't believe the way my muscles take you in. (For you, they'll open the door.)
All it takes is a little bit of insulin (To upregulate GLUT4).
Oh, glucose  -- oh, sugar sugar --
You help me make ATP When my predators are chasing me.
Oh, glucose -- you're an aldehyde sugar
And you're sweeter than a woman's kiss 'Cause I need you for glycolysis.
I just can't believe the way my muscles break you down.  (My glycogen is almost gone.)
A few more seconds and I'll be rigor mortis-bound. (Acidosis done me wrong.)
Your sweet is turning sour, baby. I'm losing all my power, baby.
I'm gonna make your muscles ache. No, no, no!
I'm swimming in lactate, baby. Yes, I'm swimming in lactate, baby. Now I'm drowning in lactate, baby.
I'm gonna make your muscles ache. No, no, no! I'm swimming in lactate, baby.
