Lyrics
Graciously, Your Majesty
Ahem
I'll sing you now a ballad to unlock a mystery
Everything is made of atoms that are far too small to see
They're made of tiny particles the scientists have found
There are protons, there are neutrons and electrons moving 'round
Hey nonny nonny, we're electrons moving 'round
You may ask what kind of matter can a single atom be
Well, the number of its protons in the center is the key
If thirty, then it's zinc, I'm told
Seventy-nine make precious gold
And if there's only one, then it's hydrogen
That's me!
Ta-da! All hail King Hydrogen
A substance made of atoms that are all of just one kind
Is an element, the simplest sort of stuff you'll ever find
We organize these elements and tell them all apart
With the periodic table, a supremely useful chart
Hey nonny nonny, I'm a very useful chart
The periodic table gives every element a letter code
And an atomic number, that's the number of protons in its atom
Atoms often join to make up molecules like so
Hydrogen and oxygen make water (H2O)
A compound's made of molecules that form in just this way
Like water, sugar, even soap for bubbles you can blow
Hey nonny nonny, making bubbles you can blow
And compounds can combine to make all kinds of different stuff
From wood to wax to cheesy snacks and sweet marshmallow fluff
Yes, atoms make up all the Earth, the stars, the moon, the sun
I hope you've got your answer, for my ballad now is done
Hey nonny nonny, your ballad now is done
What fun!
Boop
