There are metals and nonmetals
In the periodic table,
But the metals make the great majority.
There’s a staircase that descends from the left down to the right.
The metals are laid back
And the nonmetals are uptight!

Chorus
You know, I love the elements!
They fill my soul with joy.
I really like to study them.
They keep me busy, boy!
For when I do my chemistry,
It makes me very smart.
Oh, how I love the patterns
of the periodic chart...

(Perhaps you recognize the melody as Turkey in the Straw, but it is performed in a popular punk style. This song contains information on the electronic characteristics of metals, nonmetals and noble gases and discussed the kinds of bonding they do.)
