The Elements lyrics
Song information
Artist: Tom Lehrer Album: Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer
Lyrics
Now, if I may digress momentarily from the main stream of this evenings symposium, I'd like to sing a song which is completely pointless but is something which I picked up during my career as a scientist. this may prove useful to some of you some day perhaps, in a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances. it's simply the names of the chemical elements set to a possibly recognizable tune
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium ≪gasp> And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium
There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium And lead, praseodymium, and platinum, plutonium Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium ≪gasp> And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium
There's sulfur, californium, and fermium, berkelium And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc, and rhodium And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin, and sodium
These are the only ones of which the news has come to ha'vard And there may be many others, but they haven't been discovered Now, may I have the next slide please? Got carried away there
