[Verse 1]
Hydrogen is everywhere
Dispersed throughout the universe
It's inside every one of us
It has the smallest nucleus
Helium's at number 2
A noble gas it's unsurpa**ed
Lithium's in batteries
Sitting pretty at number 3
Beryllium is number 4
X-ray window
In aeronautics far and wide
Boric acid pesticide
Carbon's really widespread
Charcoal, diamond, pencil lead
Anything alive or dead
Carbon bonds the most it's said
Nitrogen's in cyanide
In rocket fuel it is applied
Ammonium consists therein
And you all know 'bout oxygen
Fluorine chillin' in the fridge
The most electro-negative
Neon lights on Vegas nights
Sodium in tasty bites
Mobile phone Magnesium
Velocipede Aluminum
Silicon computer chips
Phosphorescent phosphorous!

Period across, and family down
The periodic table is the greatest in town

Come 'n' take a trip through the elements
Take the first step, come on ladies and gents
What 'cha gonna do so....
Come and take a drink of my H20

From here on
The list gets kind of boring
So I'll just do highlights
'Cuz I don't want any snoring
Palladium and Silver
Both are used in flutes and j**elry
Cadmium in batteries power
LCD Indium touchscreens

Tungsten's used in Halogens
Osmium's the densest schlock
Iridium resists corrosion
Platinum and Gold are pretty pricey
Mercury thermometers will tell you when it's icy
Little Lead figurines are safe from radiation
But that trefoil on Polonium is cause of consternation
