Tom Lehrer Lyrics


I'd like to introduce now the featured artist of this page.
I'm sure that you'll all agree without any hesitation that
Tom Lehrer is the most brilliant creative genius that
America has produced in almost 200 years, so perhaps a few
words of biographical background might not be amiss.
Endowed by nature with perhaps the most glorious baritone
voice to be heard on an American stage since the memorable
concert debut in 1835 of Millard Fillmore; endowed also
with twelve incredibly agile fingers; Mr. Lehrer has had a
long and varied career More...

    ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

This song is very amusing and I feel obliged to learn it plus it is very easy to learn and very simple I think I will be able to handle it and anyway I've already learned half just by reading it so the rest should be fairly simple.

My anternate ending with updated elemenets | Reviewer: Bob
    ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

trying to keep the meter and rhyme in Tom Lerher's style
The last words "ad infinitum" intentionally misspelled to force the rhyme and plays on the mispronouncation of "discovered" in the original.

...sodium.

And hassium, lawrencium, seaborgium, and dubnium,
roentgenium, darmstadium, and also rutherfordium
And then there’s copernicium, meitnerium, and bohrium
And recently flerovium and also livermorium
And nameless ones ununtrium and also ununpentium
placeholders ununseptium and also ununoctium
the first one in the next row would be known as ununennium
then patterned unbinilium and thus ad infinitium

    ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

My friends bet me a fairly impressive sum (at school age anyway) to memorise this in a week. I did it in 4 days, and they never paid up. That was 8 years ago now, and I still remember 70% of it. True story.

A new verse I came up with | Reviewer: Blair Dale
    ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

So since everyone knows the lyrics are a little outdated, I took it upon myself to write in the elements discovered since that time, and slot them in without changing any of Lehrer's work. I know it's nowhere near as clever as Lehrer's lyrics, but here is what I came up with:

Theres Hassium, Seaborgium, and also theres Darmstadium
Flerovium, and Dubnium, And also Rutherfordium
Lawrencium, and Bohrium, as well as Roentgenium
And also Livermorium, Copernicum, Meitnerium

I placed it right before "there's Sulfur, Californium,..."

too bad nobody will ever hear my hard work...

Wow! | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

I never knew that there was "These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others, but they haven't been discovered." It is a surprise. Did YOU take the time to write this?

Tapping your feet and singing this song, our class uses this song before a math lesson. We were singing in Computer Lab when state visitors came in and then went right to work on our math studies online....SUPER!!!! Hope you will write a song for all our subjects

    ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

My son took our tape recorder with Lehrer's "Elements" to school and played it (against initial objections) for his Chemistry teacher. The teacher spent the rest of the day (it was a free day) trying to get everyone to listen to it.
A wonderful achievement
