Verse 1 In eighteen ninety-seven, in the lab so bright, Thomson worked both day and night. He used a cathode ray tube, you see, To find what’s inside the atom’s sea! Chorus: Thomson, Thomson, what did you see? In the glowing tube of mystery! Tiny sparks began to run — The electron! The very first one! Verse 2 He said, “Atoms aren’t solid balls at all, They’ve got tiny charges, small but tall.” A positive sphere, with electrons inside, Like plums in pudding, side by side! Chorus: Thomson, Thomson, what did you see? In the glowing tube of mystery!... Outro His model came before Bohr and Chad, But for his time, it wasn’t bad! He showed us atoms can divide — That electrons live inside! Chorus: Thomson, Thomson, what did you see? In the glowing tube of mystery! You changed the world, your work begun — The atom’s story had just begun!
