Sing Along Now!

IMG_0275_edited_edited_edited.jpg

One hundred and twelve known elements, giving matter its mass and a substance
It's a solid, it's a liquid and it's a gas, their atoms makin' up the mass
One atom is connected to another atom. One atom is connected to another atom
When atoms combine it's an elemental rule, they form a molecule

One hydrogen connected to one hydrogen
Two hydrogens connected to one oxygen
Two hydrogens connected to one oxygen
Making H20 Oh
That's water, that's water that's H20
That's water, that's water that's H20
H2O for me and you, drinking liquid molecules

One oxygen connected to one oxygen
Two oxygens connected to one carbon
Two oxygens connected to one carbon making CO2
That's carbon dioxide, breathe it out
Carbon dioxide, breathe it out
Breathin' out CO2, gaseous molecules

Sodium connected to the chlorine
Sodium connected to the chlorine
Making sodium chlorine crystals I like eating NaCl
That's sodium chloride, table salt
Sodium chloride, table salt
Eating NaCI to flavor my food, it's a salty molecule

CHORUS:
Your body is made of O, H, C
That's oxygen, hydrogen and carbon we
have O. H, C important because
They're the elements you're made of

There's gold, Au and silver Ag, tin, Sn and iron, Fe
The elemental metals were produced in stars, some coming from afar

If you have a headache get some CH3COOC6H4COOH its
Acetylsalicylic Acid, get it quick. That's aspirin, it's a medicine
And C12 H22 011 tastes so sweet go to dessert heaven
It's pure sugar, carbohydrate fuel, a pretty sweet molecule

One hundred and twelve known elements giving matter its mass and a substance
It's a solid, it's a liquid and a it's a gas, their atoms makin' up the mass
When atoms combine, it's an elemental rule, they form a molecule

They're formin' molecules
They're formin' molecules
