letra de the elements (live) - tom lehrer
(spoken)
actually, i did rather well myself this past christmas, the nicest present i received was a gift certificate, good at any hospital, for a lobotomy. uh, thoughtful. now, now if i may digress momentarily from the mainstream of this evening’s symposium, i’d like to sing a song which is completely pointless, but is something which i picked up during my career as a scientist. this may prove useful to some of you someday, perhaps in a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances, it’s simply the names of the chemical elements set to a possibly recognizable tune
