1. Hydrogen H
Some say hydrogen’s the most abundant thing. I say stupidity.

2. Helium He
Helium You make my voice sound just like Geddy lee.

3. Lithium Li
Lithium, the first alkali metal.

4. Beryllium Be
Beryllium-um-um-um-um, Beryllium-um-um-um-um
Your atomic weight is four. Beryllium-um-um-um-um.

And even most dead things.

7. Nitrogen N
Nitrogen, the most underrated gas
Nitrogen, people always seem to pass you by
it makes me cry, why oh why, Nitrogen

8. Oxygen O
Oxygen, the element they call O.

9. Fluorine F
Fluorine was a happy woman ‘till she realized how she got her name
Her atomic weight was nine she was a halogen gas
and that filled her with such shame
Mendelev told her, she shouldn’t care what other people might think
Fluorine thought about it looked on the bright side and said
at least my name ain’t zinc.

10. Neon Ne
Neon, most noble gas
Neon, helps to illuminate glass, in Vegas

11. Sodium Na
Is sodium bad for you? Na.

that allow us to download pictures of fake boobs. Circle of life.

15. Phosphorus P
If someone says they’ve got to P, don’t assume
they just might be talkin’ about Phosphorus
talkin’ about Phosphorus
To geeks like me, when you say P,
I think of group number three, a non metal I.D.
but most folks agree,
It’s more likely, when they mention pee,
they’re just referring to the bathroom.

16. Sulfur S
What is that smell? What the hell is that smell?

Titanium.

23. Vanadium V
Is it va-NAH-dium, or is it va-NEY-dium?

25. Manganese Mn
If you hear somebody sneeze, don’t say god-bless just say manganese.

26. Iron Fe
Iron, some call you FE, but not me
Your Iron, it’s what you’ll always be. YEAH.

27. Cobalt Co
Baby, you know it ain’t my fault
Baby, you know it ain’t my fault
You can put the blame where you want, but I blame cobalt
Atomic weight 27, period four group nine
with a symbol just like Colorado that’s in standard mountain time
Baby, you know it ain’t my fault
You can dip the blame rods where you want, but I blame cobalt.

That’s zirconium, like three hours salary
It’s zirconium, oh yeah.

41. Niobium Nb
Niobium, there’s something ‘bout that name,
that makes me want to sing again and again and again and again.

until that day, you will have to be satisfied,
with the look in my eyes as I hold your hand
Palladium, palladium. Palladium, palladium.

I am so glad I found you sitting here
all of the stuff that you have is so dear
I might get something my wife would just love
tell me my good friend what are these things made of?

That’s a great question that you have asked
the thing that I use is simple and fast
so easy to shape why it should be a sin
everything that I’ve got here is made: of TIN.

Is that europium?
No I’m holding it for a friend.

64. Gadolinium Gd
Gadolinium was known from town to town
people would say hi, when ‘ere he was around
drinks and laughs and fun were always to be had
no one realized, that inside he was sad
he wanted to be better known like gold he wanted to be better known like lead
he wanted to be famous like potassium he couldn’t get it out his head
the elements with fame always seemed happy and full of pride
what Gadolinium didn’t realize is they were empty inside

I think I’ll stay with carbon.

70. Ytterbium Yb
Y.T.T.E.R.B.I.U.M. that spells ytterbium
why they need two Ts in place of one I’m not sure why

the threshold that’s thought out is one that’s true
One that’s true. One that’s true.

82. Lead Pb
Some kids eat paint chips when they’re young
this can cause future songs to be sung

He is above that kind of cheap ass poke
besides what’s that got to do with uranium
Uranium, Martin Klaproth we love you, (and Uranus too.)

93. Neptunium Np
In the ocean, such a commotion such a sound
you should see it, when neptunium is around
radiation poison, killing everything nearby
watch the fishes, slowly all wither and die
see each crustacean die from radiation
watch all the eels kick up their heels
see all the shrimp turn black and limp
hear the whale cry as it start to die
what have they got a weird disease?
No! Neptunium can kill as it please
each little smelt plays the cards it’s dealt
every cod gets to see god
every bass picked gets it’s ass kicked
all the sea horses turn to sea corpses
fluke, flounder, trout, swim in vain
Neptunium’s the one to blame.

94. Plutonium Pu
Doc Brown had to steal it from the Libyans
Oppenheimer the designer used it for the war’s end
and the kid in the Manhattan Project lied to his mom
so he could steal John Lithgo’s ID and use it to make his bomb
it was supposed to be the thing that would make life so nice
nuclear cars, guitars, and bars, and yummy second rice
but the future lost its shine like poorly plated chromium
who’d of guessed this mess we’re blessed with from Plutonium
Plutonium, Plutonium.

95. Americium Am
There’s an element whose colors never run
there’s an element who’s proud to be number one
and this element can say it clear as glass

just ignore the shit from our past, Americium just kick ass
and don’t you forget it.

Einsteinium.

100. Fermium Fm
It was late 53, or early 54 when they bombarded 238U.
What they ended up producing was an alpha emitter

all the intense temperature and crazy pressure
made them do it again and again
so by summoning the ghost of some dead Italian
they called the concoction FM. FM. FM.

101. Mendelevium Md
Is there a doctor in the house?
No, but I know an Md.
What is the Russian word for mouse?

102. Nobelium No
No no no. No no no. No no no.

103. Lawrencium Lr

104. Rutherfordium Rf
There aren’t many things I know for sure
My brain is way too small to remember anything
but if there’s one thing that I know it’s that I love you

of Rutherfordium have been performed by the
Japanese team at JAERI using the radio isotope 261 mRf
This I know for sure.

105. Dubnium Db
Dub, Dub, Dubnium. Dub, Dub, Dubnium.

It confidently can reside- Dub, Dub, Dubnium.
In the place that we all call group five- Dub, Dub, Dubnium.
on the periodic table. Dub, Dub, Dubnium.

106. Seaborgium Sg
Seaborgium was used in unsuccessful tries
by those alleged bunch of cold fusion guys
so dreams of cheap power became renewed
but these guys forgot to get peer reviewed
Seaborgium was not at fault
turns out it’s just as effective for cold fusion as table salt
Seaborgium.

107. Bohrium Bh
Did you know Niels Bohr was fun at parties
and not at all a boring guy
He would often shout “ahoy me hearties”
while wearing a patch on his eye
some say he tried ‘cause his name implied
that he was such a bore (bohr?)
I would like to think his natural inclination
despite his nomenclation was just to have a good time.

108. Hassium Hs
What’s over there some drowning polar bears
Do you see ‘em? Yes Hassium.
What’s over here a group of mutant deer
Do you see ‘em? Yes Hassium. Yes I see ‘em.

I get charged so don’t you ground me, ‘cause Hassium
Don’t be alarmed but you astound me and Hassium
I’m keeping everything I found because Hassium.

109. Meitnerium Mt
You know what it’s like to be Mt
when some heavy ions just won’t do
Meitnerium is sometimes empty
First synthesized in 1982
Its such a young element it’s such a good element
and it knows it’s share of tricks
like if you bombard bismuth with iron 58
you get Meitnerium 266
and that ain’t empty, and yet it’s Mt

110. Darmstadtium Ds
I can’t come up with anything for this dumb element
there’s no puns no jokes no lines left in my pen
I’ve got one left so I’ll just give you all the basics
It’s Darmstadium and it’s number 110
I can’t come up (he can’t come up) with anything (with anything)
I might give up, aw you guys just sing…
He can’t come up with anything for this dumb element
no clever lyrics are left in his brain
after composing over one hundred of these dumb songs
the melodies all start to sound the same
I can’t come up (he can’t come up) with anything that’s fun
Don’t give up, I won’t give up, You’re almost done! Aw shit…
I just came up with something for this stupid element
It’s a bit of a cheat but I don’t really care
Just a few left and I’ll be finished with these elements
good thing I’m bald or I’d have lost my hair
Darmstadium, you don’t have to guess
It’s number 110, and it’s sign is Ds.

111. Roentgenium Rg
Willem Conrad Roentgen invented the X-Ray
Well not really invented, but discovered it’s applications

Ununtrium, ya free ‘em, you can’t be ‘em, but you can see ‘em,
parked in the stadium, like Ununquadium,
did ya get the Ununpentium ‘cause I sent ya some,
you look vexed and perplexed like Ununhexium,
I texed ya bum, I checks the sun, it’s settin’ are you forgettin’,
Ununseptium is undiscovered, unacceptable is how you hover,
‘round the elements, here you are Ununoctium, how I rocked ya son,
how I blocked the bum and glocked ‘em in the ass,
with five poor metals and a noble gas.
Five poor metals and a noble gas, Five poor metals and a noble gas
