Lyrics
|
There's Hydrogen and helium
|
And Lithium, beryllium
|
Boron, carbon everywhere
|
Nitrogen all through the air
|
There's oxygen so you can breathe
|
And fluorine for your pretty teeth
|
Neon to light up the signs
|
Sodium for salty times
|
Magnesium, aluminium, silicon
|
Phosphorus and sulfur, chlorine and argon
|
Potassium and calcium so you'll grow strong
|
Scandium, titanium, vanadium and chromium and manganese
|
This is the periodic table
|
Noble gas is stable
|
Halogens and alkali react aggressively
|
Each period will see new outer shells
|
While electrons are added moving to the right
|
Iron is the 26th
|
Then cobalt, nickel coins you get
|
Copper, zinc and gallium
|
Germanium and arsenic
|
Selenium and bromine film
|
While krypton helps light up your room
|
Rubidium and strontium and yttrium, zirconium
|
Niobium, molybdenum, technetium
|
Ruthenium, rhodium, palladium
|
Silver-ware, then cadmium and indium
|
Tin cans, antimony and tellurium and iodine and xenon and then cesium and
|
Barium is 56
|
And this is where the table splits
|
Where lanthanides have just begun
|
Lanthanum, cerium and praseodymium
|
Neodymium's next to
|
Promethium then 62's
|
Samarium, europium, gadolinium and terbium
|
Dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium
|
Hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, then we're on to
|
Rhenium, osmium and iridium
|
Platinum, gold to make you rich 'til you grow old
|
Mercury to tell you when it's really cold
|
Thallium and lead and bismuth for your tummy
|
Polonium, astatine would not be yummy
|
Radon, francium will last a little time
|
Radium then actinides at 89
|
This is the periodic table
|
Noble gas is stable
|
Halogens and alkali react aggressively
|
Each period will see new outer shells
|
While electrons are to the right
|
Actinium, thorium, protactinium
|
Uranium, neptunium, plutonium
|
Americium, curium, berkelium
|
Californium, einsteinium, fermium
|
Mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium
|
Rutherfordium, dubnium, seaborgium
|
Bohrium, hassium, meitnerium
|
Darmstadtium, roentgenium, copernicium
|
Nihonium, flerovium
|
Moscovium, livermorium
|
Tennessine and oganesson
|
And then we're done
|
