And gold, protactinium and indium and gallium,
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.

There's YTTRIUM, YTTERBIUM, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
There's 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,
