lyrics

Iron ore, is mined from the ground,
‘cause that’s where ore is found.
And we’ve got iron ore and silver ore
and golden ore and so much more.

It’s used for making objects.
Coins and tools and jewelry projects.
That’s metallurgy in all it’s aspects, na-na-na-na.

Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na

A rowboat oar is found in a boat.
You’ll need two I’m compelled to note.
You go in circles when there’s only one;
Round and round, it’s not much fun.

Instead go where you intend,
Pull and glide — watch the ripples you send,
Maybe ride around with a friend? Na-na-na-na.

Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na

O-R-E, ore. O-A-R, Oar.
They sound the same, it’s hard to ignore.
They’re called homophones, and truth be known,
there is one more (they’re not alone).

If faced with a choice to make,
O-R’s the right one to take.
Now it’s time for a small dance break, na-na-na-na.

Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na

So, when you find, it’s now time to choose
O-R’s the right “or” to use.
Now once more, show off your dance moves, na-na-na-na.

Na-na-na na-na-na na-na-na-na
Na-na-na na-na-na na-na
