Elements 103 to 118

added by Tom Lehrer in 2020

Copernicium, meitnerium, nihonium, moscovium,
Rutherfordiuim, seaborgium, roentgenium, flerovium,
Darmstadtium, lawrencium, oganesson, livermoriuim,
And tennessine and hassium and dubnium and bohrium.

This will scan with only three deviations from the original music. The first two syllables of copernicium and rutherfordium and the last two syllables of lawrencium must each be sung as two sixteenth-notes, rather than as one eighth-note.

Note: the preferred primary accent in oganesson is on the third syllable (ness), although there is disagreement about this.
