Rock Cycle
Original lyrics penned 1993, © 2004 by Jim Nelson
Tune: " This Old Man "
I looked down, found a rock, picked it up right on the spot
Intrusive igneous formed beneath the crust
Slowly cooling, hard to bust
I looked down, found a rock, picked it up right on the spot
Extrusive igneous from a lava flow
Maybe from a vol-cane-noe
I looked down, found a rock, picked it up right on the spot
Sed-ih-men-tary, that, I'll bet the rent
Stuck together like cement
I looked down, found a rock, picked it up right on the spot
Full of hardened parts from an animal
I had found a fah-us-sel
I looked down, found a rock, picked it up right on the spot
Heat and pressure, they had done the trick
Changed it to met-uh-mor-phic
I looked down, found a rock, picked it up right on the spot
When I cracked it open, there inside I found
Min'ral crystals, I'll be bound
I looked down, found a rock, picked it up right on the spot
When I got back on my bicycle
My pockets held the rock cycle
