Male: Little is Lithium, light as a whisper,
Female: Betty's Beryllium, don't get too close to her.
Male: Bring is Boron, hard little stone,
Female: Cats is Carbon, the backbone we own, every bone we own.
Male: Near is Nitrogen, filling up the air,
Female: Our is Oxygen, breathe it, don't spare.
Male: Furry is Fluorine, biting like static,
Female: Neighbor closes with Neon, the glow so dramatic.
[Chorus]
Both: Say the sentence, see the row,
Unpack every word, watch the symbol grow,
Hydrogen to Neon, ten in a line,
Picture it, pocket it, lock it in your mind.
(Say it) — Harry, Helped, Little, Betty
(Unpack it) — H, He, Li, Be, already!
[Verse 2]
Female: Never Mind Al's Silly Plan, Sam Clean Aquariums—
Male: eight more elements, no delirium.
Female: Never is Sodium, salt on your tongue,
Male: Mind is Magnesium, flares when it's flung.
Female: Al's is Aluminum, foil on your plate,
Male: Silly is Silicon, sand turned to slate.

Female: Clean is Chlorine, in the pool it swims,
Male: Aquariums shuts it—Argon, noble and slim.
[Chorus]
Both: Say the sentence, see the row,
Unpack every word, watch the symbol grow,
Sodium to Argon, eight in a chain,
Picture it, pocket it, say it again.
[Verse 3]

Female: Can't is Calcium, bones on the list.
Male: Stand is Scandium, rare, walkin' proud,
Female: Titan's Titanium, strong through the crowd,
Male: Vicious shuts it down—Vanadium's blade,
Female: five little words, five symbols made.
[Bridge]
Both: Ninety-two natural, rest man-made in the lab,
One-eighteen total, the whole periodic tab,
Chunk it in tens, don't rush the ride,
Every sentence a ladder, every symbol's a guide.
(Male) Break it down—
(Female) —build it back—
(Both) —that's how the memory don't crack.
[Verse 4]
Male: Way past Bohrium the sentences get bolder,
Female: Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium, older,
Male: Nihonium, Flerovium, Moscovium creep,
Female: Livermorium, Tennessine, don't fall asleep,
Male: Oganesson closes the whole periodic sea,
Female: one hundred eighteen, unpacked and free.
[Chorus]
Both: Say the sentence, see the row,
Unpack every word, watch the symbol grow,
Hydrogen to Oganesson, start to end,
Picture it, pocket it, do it again.
[Outro]
Female: Say it once—
Male: —picture it twice.
Both: Unpack the sentence, that's the whole device.
(Female) One word, one symbol—
(Male) —that's the price.
