[Verse 1]
CIron is a metal, you Dadd4see it every day
COxygen, eventually, will Dadd4make it rust away
GCarbon in its ordinary Cform is Dadd4coal
GCrush it toCgether, and Dadd4diamonds are Gborn
[Chorus]
GCome on come on and Cmeet the elementsAm  
May I introGduce you to our Cfriends, the elements?Am  
Like a Dbox of Empaints that are mAmixed to Cmake every Dshade
They either Gcombine to make a Cchemical compound or Dstand alone as they aGre
[Verse 2]
CNeon's a gas that lights up the Dadd4sign for a pizza place
CThe coins that you pay with are Dadd4copper, nickel, and zinc
GSilicon and oxygen make Cconcrete bricks and Dadd4glass
Now Gadd some gold and Csilver for some Dadd4pizza place Gclass
[Chorus]
GCome on come on and Cmeet the elementsAm  
I think you should check Gout the ones they Ccall the elementsAm  
Like a Dbox of Empaints that are Ammixed to Cmake every Dshade
They either cGombine to make a Cchemical compound or Dstand alone as they Gare
CTeam up with other Delements making Gcompounds when they comCbine
Or Ammake up a simple Celement formed out of Datoms of the one Gkind
[Verse 3]
BalCloons are full of helium, and C/Dso is every star
CStars are mostly hydrogen, which may C/Dsomeday fill your car
E5Hey, who let in D5all these elephants?B5  
Did you know that C5elephants are made of D5elements?
CElephants are mostly Dadd4made of four elements
And Cevery living thing is mostly Dadd4made of four elements
GPlants, bugs, birds, fish, bacCteria and Dmen
Are mostly Gcarbon, hydrogen, Cnitrogen and DoxygGen
[Chorus]
GCome on come on and Cmeet the elementsAm  
You and I are compliGcated, but we're Cmade of elementsAm  
Like a Dbox of Empaints that are Ammixed to Cmake every Dshade
They either Gcombine to make a Cchemical compound or Dstand alone as they Gare
CTeam up with other Delements making Gcompounds when they comCbine
Or Ammake up a simple Celement formed out of Datoms of the one Gkind
GCome on come on and Cmeet the elementsAm  
Check out the Gones they Ccall the elementsAm  
Like a Dbox of Empaints that are Ammixed to Cmake every Dshade
They either Gcombine to make a Cchemical compound or Dstand alone as they Gare
