Meet the Elements They Might Be Giants
[C]Iron is a metal, you [Dadd4]see it every day
[C]Oxygen, eventually, will [Dadd4]make it rust away
[G]Carbon in its ordinary [C]form is [Dadd4]coal
[G]Crush it to[C]gether, and [Dadd4]diamonds are [G]born
[G]Come on come on and [C]meet the elements[Am]
May I intro[G]duce you to our [C]friends, the elements?[Am]
Like a [D]box of [Em]paints that are m[Am]ixed to [C]make every [D]shade
They either [G]combine to make a [C]chemical compound or [D]stand alone as they [G]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
[C]Team up with other [D]elements making [G]compounds when they com[C]bine
Or [Am]make up a simple [C]element formed out of [D]atoms of the one [G]kind
[C] [C/D]
Bal[C]loons are full of helium, and [C/D]so is every star
[C]Stars are mostly hydrogen, which may [C/D]someday fill your car
[E5]Hey, who let in [D5]all these elephants?[B5]
Did you know that [C5]elephants are made of [D5]elements?
[C]Elephants are mostly [Dadd4]made of four elements
And [C]every living thing is mostly [Dadd4]made of four elements
[G]Plants, bugs, birds, fish, bac[C]teria and [D]men
Are mostly [G]carbon, hydrogen, [C]nitrogen and [D]oxyg[G]en
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
[G] [C] [D] [G]
