King Henry died by drinking chocolate milk.
He drank 1 kiloliter in his robe of silk
1000 liters were more than he could take
1 million milliliters turned out to be a big mistake
A princess in a traveling band
Passed through King Henry’s land
She had a gift that he’d never seen
She said that it was chocolate milk
And the King drank one drop just to try
1 milliliter is not a lot
But poor King Henry just could not stop
Chorus
King Henry drank 1000 drops
1 liter’s not a lot
It barely filled up his royal crown
He continued to keep drinking on
‘til 1000 more liters were gone
A bathtub full of chocolate milk
Drowned King Henry in his robes of silk
10 millimeters equals 1 centimeter
100 millimeters equals 1 decimeter
1000 millimeters equals 1 meter
We’ve got to keep going, we just keep getting bigger
10 meters equals 1 dekameter
100 meters equals 1 hectometer
1000 meters equals 1 kilometer
In the metric system that’s the way that we convert
Millimeter, centimeter, decimeter, meter
Dekameter, hectometer, kilometer – LENGTH
Milligram, centigram, decigram, gram
Dekagram, hectogram, kilogram – MASS
Milliliter, centiliter, deciliter, liter
Dekaliter, hectoliter, kiloliter - VOLUME
