Some have gold in all of their plates
Iron makes up all of their gates
I don't use none

When you want a canned soda
To help you have some fun
or you want something shiny but you can't afford silver ones
Well don't you frown
Bring prices down

Corrosion resistant
Wont rust easily its true
It is decent for electric
It's good for bottles too
It's all around
Easily found

Copper prices are rising each day
and we know most metals are gray
Though Tin foil can be fun for play
--Aluminum

Great for decoration
Not easily bent
It makes a brawny strainer
be careful, it may dent
It's used in cars, its critical
It's Easy to engrave
and if you buy it as a plate
Do not use it in a microwave

Steel's great for a coaster-okay
and its heavy, so its good for weights
but when you want a metal with grace
Aluminum

Bottles, shovels, Hangers, Foil, Wire, Cans of Duff
Lanterns, statues, coaster, Vases, key-chains, lots of stuff

Aluminum
Aluminum

Pewter models cost arms and legs
and bronze will take all your nest egg
You want something shiny for change
Aluminum

(looks so pretty)

Toasters, TVs, Airplanes, our transport-ate
No need to say, but it does not taste great
But the foil is good for a fun disguise

Though we may think aluminum's light weight
It was once thought to be quite ornate
Washington Monument is topped by it-not surprised

It holds in all of that great taste
(Aluminum)and we can recycle all of its waste
(Aluminum)You can find it all over the place
Aluminum

(You know it 'rocks')

So it may be Gold that you chase
(Aluminum) but in my home you won't find a trace
(Aluminum) May be cheap, but I won't change my ways
Aluminum
(has faded out by now. . .)
