in 1942 I was used to coin new nickels
cause nickel was diverted to the military
and later I was added to automobiles fuel tanks
cause I help prevent engine knock when mixed with gasoline

I'm Sulphur fixing and alloying deoxidizing Manganese
heavy exposure to me in mines will give you Parkinson's disease

as Condy's crystals I'm a reagent
a topical sick fish medication
and and essential trace nutrient
for everything alive

I'm constantly cleaning up after Iron's mess
even though I occur naturally free
when he leaves green splotches on brand new glass
the cleaning's always up to me

I'm Sulphur fixing and alloying deoxidizing Manganese
heavy exposure to me in mines will help to give you Parkinson's disease

as Condy's crystals I'm a reagent
a topical sick fish medication
and and essential trace nutrient
for everything alive
