My Element song lyrics

Title: School's element song

(Sing this the way you sing wheels on the bus)



We use argon for electric bulbs
House light bulbs, house light bulbs
We use neon for coloured light signs
Decoration

Sodium is part of table salt
Table salt, table salt
We drink calcium for our teeth
For our teeth

Copper is found in diamonds
Diamonds, Diamonds
Lead is supremely poisonous
But used in pipes

White phosphorus glows in the dark
In the dark, in the dark
Bromine is widely used for films
And for photos

We have oxygen for unseen air
unseen air, unseen air
We also have nitrogen for air
All for our lives.

This song sounds like one that you might hear
wheels on the bus, wheels on the bus
Each 2 lines describe an element
Certainly right
