Well the teacher says we oughta know All about the atom from a-head to toe Now let us think, what can we say About the tiny little atom that we know today
We know it's round and full of space With electrons a-swingin' around the nucleus Electrons swingin' around the nucleus
If we saw the atom, boy there’s fun Protons a-dancin' with the neu-hoo-tron Frisky little electrons swingin' in space You gotta have a proton in the nucleus
The proton's positive, a neutron non The electron is the negative one Electron is the negative one
You be my electron every day And I'll be your proton, what do you say? We'll all get out on, that hardwood floor And dance all night and dance some more.
Come on a-baby, listen to me That rock and roll atom's getting' through to me That rock and roll atom's getting' through to me
That rock and roll atom's goin' ‘round It's spreadin' knowledge all over town So it makes no difference where you shake or stroll You can learn about the atom as you rock and roll
Now instead of Cupid shootin' his darts He shoots a rock and roll atom right through your heart, Rock and roll atom right through your heart!
