Elements song

Hi everyone, I shall be telling you a little bit more about Tom Lehrer and the Elements Song.

Tom Lehrer was born in New York City in American and was a talented pianist and a mathematics teacher. He was part of a Jewish-American family and he showed great interest in music at a young age.

After graduating from high school, he went on to study mathematics at Harvard and eventually got himself a degree in math in 1947.

He wrote the Elements Song in 1959 and the song contained all the elements which were discovered at that time; it had up till nobelium. The song was not written in order of the elements in the Periodic Table, but rather in a way such that it went with the tune of the song.

After the song was written, it became rather popular and it was even sung in a talent show. Here is the video recorded and posted on YouTube:

I copied the lyrics for your reference:
There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium, (gasp)
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.

There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium.

There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead, praseodymium and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium, (gasp)
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.

There's sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium,
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium.

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Hahvard,
