Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium
Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen
Fluorine, Neon
Sodium, Magnesium
Aluminum, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur
Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium
Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium
Manganese, Iron
Cobalt, Nickel
Copper, Zinc, Gallium, Germanium
The Elements are our building blocks
We use to make everything
We put them in a Periodic Table so we know how they can cling
There’s more than 100 elements
They’re solids or liquids or gas
But we’ll sing the first 32 cause they’re most of our universe’s mass
Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium
Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen
Fluorine, Neon
Sodium, Magnesium
Aluminum, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur
Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium
Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium
Manganese, Iron
Cobalt, Nickel
Copper, Zinc, Gallium, Germanium
The Sun, mostly Hydrogen Helium
The Air, mostly Nitrogen Oxygen
And Water is Hydrogen Oxygen
And we’re mostly Water & Carbon
There’s more than 100 Elements
Some dangerous and some safe
But we’ll sing the first 32
Since we use some things that they make
Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen
Fluorine, Neon
Sodium, Magnesium
Aluminum, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur
Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium
Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium
Manganese, Iron
Cobalt, Nickel
Copper, Zinc, Gallium, Germanium

Fun Facts
- Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.
- A star combines (via nuclear fusion) Hydrogen atoms to create energy + Helium.
- Beryllium is created by Helium + Helium atoms.
- Carbon is created by Helium + Beryllium atoms.
- Oxygen is created by Helium + Carbon atoms.
- Beryllium is created by Helium + Helium atoms.
- A star dies once Iron is formed as it is unable to create any more energy by nuclear fusion.
- When a star explodes into a supernova, elements heavier than Iron are created such as Platinum and Gold.
- The # or % of the 1st Element is greater than the 2nd Element which is why they are ordered in this manner in each verse.
