text: Yo, check it out, here's the lowdown
  New direct assays, they're the talk of the town
  Measuring LDL-cholesterol (Ch) with precision
  Even in non-fasting conditions, it's a new mission
  
  No need for ultracentrifugation, it's a breeze
  Hypertriglyceridemics, listen up, please
  The diff between direct method and Friedewald's formula
  It reveals abnormalities, that's the norm-a
  
  Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in the mix
  If VLDL-Ch is 1/5, the difference won't be nix
  Estimated remnant-Ch, that's what we see
  Remnants and IDL fractions, they come to be
  
  LDL-Ch ain't detected in the affinity column
  Anti-apoA1 and anti-B100, they're the problem
  But RLP fraction is excluded, that's for real
  Correlated with remnant-Ch, IDL-Ch, and apoE, the deal
  
  No correlation with Lp(a), that's a fact
  This direct assay system keeps it intact
  Measuring LDL-Ch with ease, it's a game-changer
  Identifying abnormalities, no need for danger
  
  No ultracentrifugation, we're breaking free
  Compositional abnormalities, we can see
  Remnants and IDL fractions, they won't hide
  Thanks to this new direct assay, we ride.
