What's the Matter?

What’s the matter when its molecules don’t move much?
What’s the matter when it stays in a fixed shape?
What’s the matter like a mountain that is so high?
What’s the matter, what’s the matter - Solid

What’s the matter when its molecules move and flow?
What’s the matter when it takes the shape of what it’s in?
What’s the matter like a river flowing by?
What’s the matter, what’s the matter – Liquid

What’s the matter when its molecules move fast and far?
What’s the matter when it’s hard to tell the shape?
What’s the matter like the air that blows the leaves?
What’s the matter, what’s the matter? – Gas

Chorus:
Solid, liquid and gas
Solid, liquid and gas
Solid, liquid and gas
You can learn it one, two, three
Three stages of matter, it’s easy!

A solid has a definite volume and shape...

.....

A liquid has a definite volume, it’s true...

.....

A gas has no definite volume or shape...

.....

What’s the matter like a mountain that is so high?
What’s the matter like a river flowing by?...

.....

Repeat Chorus
