Lyrics Meet the Elements - They Might Be Giants
Iron
is
a
metal,
you
see
it
every
day
Oxygen,
eventually,
will
make
it
rust
away
Carbon
in
its
ordinary
form
is
coal
Crush
it
together,
and
diamonds
are
born
Come
on
come
on
and
meet
the
elements
May
I
introduce
you
to
our
friends,
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
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
Team
up
with
other
elements
making
compounds
when
they
combine
Or
make
up
a
simple
element
formed
out
of
atoms
of
the
one
kind
Balloons
are
full
of
helium,
and
so
is
every
star
Stars
are
mostly
hydrogen,
which
may
someday
fuel
your
car
Hey,
who
let
in
all
these
elephants?
Did
you
know
that
elephants
are
made
of
elements?
Elephants
are
mostly
made
of
four
elements
And
every
living
thing
is
mostly
made
of
four
elements
Plants,
bugs,
birds,
fish,
bacteria
and
men
Are
mostly
carbon,
hydrogen,
nitrogen
and
oxygen
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
