LYRICS
Intro:
Metric system
Meter's out
Liter's full
And when it's time to measure mass...
kilograms
Gallons, pounds, and inches measure pretty well
But science needs a system built for any scale
SI could show 'em
Yeah
SI could show 'em
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bout to teach you how the prefix go
Metric system - we in “Kilo Mode”
Verse:
How to measure this?
For many years we were confused
So these SI units are the ones that we should use
Meter, liter, kilogram, and even kelvins too
When it's way too big, we add a prefix to the root
Add to the root!
The first is deka, but hardly used
Hecto is a hundred - ten to the two
And the next is kilos - that's what we move
Shipping kilograms of carrots over kilometers to
Make a smoothie full of energy - we measure kilojoules
That's like calories, which are really kilo-prefixed too
Check the megapixels - mega means a million like tycoons
Chorus One:
S- S- SI says
To measure the mass of an object in class
Better do it in grams
Ounces/Pounds are a pass
When you get your ruler
Use the centimeter
And for volume liters
Metric's how we measure
Verse Two:
Yeah, this is way too small so it could use a prefix too
Deciliters is a volume that we use
That's the same as one hundred centimeters cubed
Meter stick has a hundred centimeters as a rule
Seven millimeters is college-ruled
Milli is one thousandth - that's nothing new
When we write a micro we use a mu (μ)
That's a millionth - microscopic means invisible
Don't stop microwave it
As we keep on zooming to molecules
Ten to negative ninth like nanotubes
At nanoscales I start to get confused
Now we're down to atoms - they're pico- Achoo!
Then to femto, atto, zepto (Bless you!)
Should we keep getting smaller?
Nah, I'm through (SI said...)
Too many orders of magnitude
SI said, System Internacionale
Metric's how we measure
Acapella Science - take these prefixes up!
VERSE THREE
Megapixels in the cam
In my email, I'm getting megabytes of spam
Stacking up these Mega Millions tickets in my hands
Prefixes expand going way beyond the gram
Kilowatts power lights
Pretty bright
So I might
Text kilobytes
Photoshop megabytes
Shooting all this footage
And I don't know where to put it
Man, my hard-drives at the limit
Need an external drive
Gigabytes?
Yeah right
Terabytes?
That might be alright
Giga means a giant
That's like height
Tera means monster
That's like fright
Giga means a billion - Tera is a trillion
Online storage? You must be kidding
Every single month, upload petabytes of vids
A petabyte of data that's a thousand to the fifth
Exabytes in the cloud - sixth from a thou
That's quite a figure
Need new prefixes as it keeps growing quicker
Now I get it
Thank you metric
CHORUS TWO
Megapixels in the cam
In my email, I'm getting megabytes of spam
Computer short-term memory has gigabytes of RAM
Giga means a billion, and a gigaton go blam!
So we store Kilobytes
Megabyte
Gigabyte
Terabyte
Petabyte
Exabyte
Metric's tight
OUTRO
Yeah, know the metric prefixes and you'll know about scale
Going big or going small
Keep it metric or you'll fail, yeah
