Mineral Man

A mineral is a substance
It's surely not alive
It has a chemical structure
That's how it's built inside

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhh

In the early 1800s
That's how the story goes
There was a mineralogist
And his name was Friedrich Mohs

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhh

He classified the minerals
On a scale of one to ten
He judged them by their hardness
Now let's count them down again

1-talc
2-gypsum
3-calcite
4-flourite
5-apatite (I'm hungry)
6-feldspar
7-quartz
8-topaz
9-corundum
10-diamond (not included--and we should not here that for some strange reason diamonds are NEVER included in minerals sets that are used for educational purposes and we just can't seem to figure out why)

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER!

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhh
