The Lyrics
This one is for Olvan, Philbo and Billy -- I think you sort of requested it? Hee hee!
I like metamorphic
And some sedimentary
But know igneous thrills me
More than all of the rest
So you see I might panic
If it isn't volcanic
Just give me some pumice
And obsidian
Shale don't inspire me
I need lava to fire me
Give me tall heaping granite
Or basalt will suffice
You can keep your bitum'nous
Though it may be quite lum'nous
Too much crust's pressure
It just isn't gneiss
Flow ow ow ow ow ow ow...
I need lava to fire me
Come give me igneous
One third of Stonehenge
Hang onto your sandstone
You can't tempt me with limestone
I would rather have gemstones
Than carved serpentine
I could worship Vesuvi
It don't fail to move me
Just give me igneous
Gra-vel me again
And some sedimentary
But know igneous thrills me
More than all of the rest
So you see I might panic
If it isn't volcanic
Just give me some pumice
And obsidian
Shale don't inspire me
I need lava to fire me
Give me tall heaping granite
Or basalt will suffice
You can keep your bitum'nous
Though it may be quite lum'nous
Too much crust's pressure
It just isn't gneiss
Flow ow ow ow ow ow ow...
I need lava to fire me
Come give me igneous
One third of Stonehenge
Hang onto your sandstone
You can't tempt me with limestone
I would rather have gemstones
Than carved serpentine
I could worship Vesuvi
It don't fail to move me
Just give me igneous
Gra-vel me again

As a geologist, this really hits the spot! Great work!
lol...yes! We need more mineral songs! lol
Will! Thank you kindly. I really appreciate the thumbs up -- 'specially seeing as how we've been so hard on you politically! -- "You're a better man... ...er hobbit.. ...Gunga Din etc." Merry ; - )
Billy, glad you enjoyed it! Hope Phil and Olvan catch it too...
Nice one, M&P :-) Now, here's a song you could get stoned to ;-)
Rock me !
I think we need someone like Tom Waits to sing it, with his gravelly voice.....
I have no idea what It means but it 'rocked'!
5's. Well in sync with the original. If I didn't know something about rocks I wouldn't know what you were singing about.
Should be called "The Rock Song". There are no minerals in it. :(
Lol, we got in trouble with the 'Minerologist' Reminds me of that time Merry got roused on by the guy from Edison Lighthouse!
