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 fuel 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
