I'm the table periodic
And in case you forgot it
Atomic is my weight
My electrons rotate
A noble fate
When you see all eight
Two letters max in the name
Building blocks of the game
In every column
Every row
Not you compound
So don't call me your bro
Most of us are metal
That's something you should know
Split like atoms
When it's time to go
When my carbon binds
Blown are minds
Bonds are strong
Just like these rhymes
I'm organic
Like some fruit
Don't wear a tie
With this black soot
You hear about eight?
And that's oxygen
If it wasn't in the air
You'd never talk again
Science is cool
Learn it and they pay you
Some records are gold
But this one is Au
