Emma K Doub ES 2012

Found some lost lyrics from Emma K Doub  

I’m about to start a new residency at this excellent school in Hagerstown, and I found some past student lyrics I failed to put on this blog, so here they are. They’re from 2012 when the students were studying geology. We used Beat It, Never Say Never, What Makes You Beautiful for our parody songs.

Dig it (Parody of Beat It, Mrs. Fochtman’s class)

Rocks and minerals come from all over the place

Rivers, mountains, oceans, every landscape

Statues are soapstone and limestone too

So dig it, just dig it

I better grab my tools and run outside

If I forget my pick it wouldn’t be so wise

I use my hand lens to classify

Just view it, I’m a geologist

Refrain:

Just dig it, grab it, view it, test it

Use the Moh’s scale, don’t guess it

Scratch them together, reveal what’s inside

Rocks and minerals, they’re easy to find.

So dig it, just dig it

Dig it, just dig it

Ship Rock’s in New Mexico, it’s made of minette

It was a volcano now it’s not a threat

The lava’s all dried up and there’s no more magma left

So test it, just test it

You better run and grab a diamond right now

It’s so hard and shiny that you will be wowed

Minerals are gemstones and you dig them from the ground

So grab ‘em, Cuz they’re not just talc 

Dig Rocks Forever 

(parody of Never Say Never by Mrs. Baumgardner’s class)

I never thought that I could break a rock

I never thought I’d see a mineral

I got ‘em with my pickaxe on my walk

Until I couldn’t find another crystal

And there’s more than just one part

When you’re taking it to heart

Gonna measure what’s inside

Tons of minerals

refrain:

I will dig rocks forever

I will smash them together

Wherever minerals hide

I will find them inside

Dig it up

Dig it up

Dig it up

Dig it up up up

And find them forever

Find them forever

Find them forever

I’m a rock

Please get this fossil out of me

I’m a very old skeleton

Dig me up please

I help the scientist

So now I understand

That I’m a mineral

I came from the land

Now rocks are harder than me

Fatter than me

Prettier than me

But they ain’t in a R.O.C.K. song with me

I grabbed my materials

To break the minerals

I studied ‘em and

Measured ‘em

And then I classified ‘em

So now I’m done diggin’

And my thumbs ain’t numb

And my pinkie is missin’

But I ain’t so dumb (I’m smart!)

Your Love’s Like a Lava Flow 

(parody of What Makes You Beautiful by Ms. Riley’s class)

You’re a rock

My way is blocked

I’m diggin’ down but all I found is chalk

Lookin’ for gems

Diggin’ for gold

Been here so long that I’m catching a cold

Geologist’s use a hammer and pickaxe

Hand lens and microscope

refrain:

Baby you rock my world like a volcano blast

And your pickaxe puts me in a body cast

But when you measured the mass, I fell so fast

You’re like a peridot

Your love’s like a lava flow

If only you’d cool your love for me

Like basalt makes an island in the sapphire sea

My love’s in the crust of geology

I don’t know, oh oh 

Why you’re throwing rocks at me

Oh oh oh

My heart’s like a ruby

Canyons below

Erode so slow

The river flowed

Through a plateau long ago - oh - oh

Stalagmites and stalactites

In the deep, dark caves they hold on tight

Take samples to the laboratory

Break them to see inside

refrain:

Baby you rock my world like a volcano blast

And your pickaxe puts me in a body cast

But when you measured the mass, I fell so fast

You’re like a peridot

Your love’s like a lava flow

If only you’d cool your love for me

Like basalt makes an island in the sapphire sea

My love’s in the crust of geology

I don’t know, oh oh 

Why you’re throwing rocks at me

Oh oh oh

My heart’s like a ruby
