Lyrics:
(Graciously, your majesty! Ahem!)

I'll sing you now a ballad to unlock a mystery!
Everything is made of atoms, that are far too small to see!
They're made of tiny particles, the scientists have found!
There are protons, there are neutrons and electrons movin' round!
Hey, nonny, nonny, we're electrons movin' round!

You may ask what kind of matter can a single atom be?
Well, the number of its protons in the center is the key!
If 30, then it's zinc I'm told, 79 make precious gold!
And if there's only one, then it's hydrogen! (That's me!)
(Huzzah! All hail King Hydrogen!)

A substance made of atoms that are all of just one kind,
Is an element, the simplest sort of stuff you'll ever find!
We organize these elements, and tell them all apart,
With the Periodic Table, a supremely useful chart!
Hey, nonny, nonny, I'm a very useful chart!

(The periodic table gives every element a letter code and an atomic number!)
(That's the number of protons in its atom!)
(Boop?)

Atoms often join to make up molecules like so!
Hydrogen and oxygen make water! (H2O!)
A compound's made of molecules that form in just this way!
Like water, sugar, even soap for bubbles you can blow!
Hey, nonny, nonny, makin' bubbles you can blow!

And compounds can combine to make all kinds of different stuff!
From wood to wax to cheesy snacks, and sweet mushroom fluff!
Yes, atoms make up all the Earth, the stars, the Moon, the Sun!
I hope you've got your answer, for my ballad now is done!
Hey, nonny, nonny-o, her ballad now is done!
What fun!
