Meet The Elements

Iron is a metal, you see it every day

Oxygen, eventually, will make it rust away

Carbon in its ordinary form is coal

Crush it together, and diamonds are born

Come on come on and meet the elements

May I introduce you to our friends, the elements'

Like a box of paints that are mixed to make every shade

They either combine to make a chemical compound or stand alone as they are

Neon's a gas that lights up the sign for a pizza place

The coins that you pay with are copper, nickel, and zinc

Silicon and oxygen make concrete bricks and glass

Now add some gold and silver for some pizza place class

Come on come on and meet the elements

I think you should check out the ones they call the elements

Like a box of paints that are mixed to make every shade

They either combine to make a chemical compound or stand alone as they are

Team up with other elements making compounds when they combine

Or make up a simple element formed out of atoms of the one kind

Balloons are full of helium, and so is every star

Stars are mostly hydrogen, which may someday fill your car

Hey, who let in all these elephants'

Did you know that elephants are made of elements'

Elephants are mostly made of four elements

And every living thing is mostly made of four elements

Plants, bugs, birds, fish, bacteria and men

Are mostly carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen

Come on come on and meet the elements

You and I are complicated, but we're made of elements

Like a box of paints that are mixed to make every shade

They either combine to make a chemical compound or stand alone as they are

Team up with other elements making compounds when they combine

Or make up a simple element formed out of atoms of the one kind

Come on come on and meet the elements

Check out the ones they call the elements

Like a box of paints that are mixed to make every shade

They either combine to make a chemical compound or stand alone as they are
