The Lyrics

Rocks man,
What's the mnemonic for "stalactite"
And, conversely, for
The other calcified thing, a "stalagmite?"

Rocks man,
The latter, I believe, stands upright
(Both look kinda funny)
Other, icicle-like, but not as light.

Rocks man,
So tell me, please, have I got it right?
Rocks man,
Sans mnemonic, it is recondite.

Rocks man:
"You have got it right."
Rocks man:
"'C' in 'stalactite."
Rocks man:
"'C' in 'ceiling, right?
Rocks man:
"Hangs from ceiling white?"
Rocks man:
"Hint--a dangling light.
Rocks man:
"In cave that's not bright,"
Rocks man:
"Hangs a stalactite."
Rocks man:
"Think of hang-down light."

Rocks man,
I understand the clue you
Gave. Now I'll pose this to you:
"Ground" is the opposite of the ceil-
ing; and so the device I can now employ.

From the ground, with "G," juts up
A stalagmite; and what's up--
On the "C"eiling, you know what. OK,
I've found the way!

Rocks man,
Now, about two rocks black as the night:
Rocks man,
Please help me get this one also right.

Rocks man,
One is polished for jewelry that's bright.
Rocks man,
Other burns bright with a hot blue light.

Rocks man:
"I will solve your plight."
Rocks man:
"One is hematite."
Rocks man:
"The other's lignite,"
Rocks man:
"Soft, not anthracite."
Rocks man:
"That's all for tonight."
Rocks man
Is getting uptight.
Rocks man's
Irked more than a mite.
Rock man's
No longer polite.
Rocks man:
"Found at your mind's site:
Rocks! Man,
Get outta my sight!"

All I know is that they are like ants in the pants - the 'mites go up and the 'tites go down.
