A qu[C]ark is a fundamental c[C]onstituent of m[F]atter
[G]Observed in 1968 through [F]deep electric sc[C]atter
We [C]found that protons were more co[F]mplex than we thought
We [G]thought they were solid particles but [F]they are no[C]t
[C]Protons in fact are made up of three separate[F] pieces
It just g[G]ets more confusing as our k[F]nowledge i[C]ncreases
And t[C]hat is what a quark is; it?s a piece of [F]a proton
And they al[G]so make up other things in[F]cluding the neu[C]tron
[C]Up down strange charm t[F]op bottom
If you d[G]on?t know what a quark is it doesn?t mat[F]ter, you still got [C]em
And with le[C]ptons and bosons unless something[F]?s amiss
They make up e[G]verything that we can see and th[F]at we know ex[C]ists
[C]Things made up of quarks including pr[C]otons and neutr[F]ons
[G]Are composite particles that physicist call ha[F]drons[C]
[C]Many times those hadrons are theoretically desc[F]ribed
[G]But most exist for only very br[F]ief amounts o[C]f time
[C]Quarks have electric charge, colour c[C]harge, mass and s[F]pin
And ha[G]ving colour charge means they exist so[F]lely in[C] side
[C]Other kinds of particles that cannot exist a[F]lone
Which is w[G]hy quarks have never been st[F]udied on their o[C]wn
[C]Up down strange charm t[F]op bottom
If you [G]don?t know what a quark is it doesn?t mat[F]ter, you still got [C]em
And with l[C]eptons and bosons unless something[F]?s amiss
They make up e[G]verything that we can see and th[F]at we know ex[C]ists
These t[C]iny bits of matter are part of al[C]most everyth[F]ing
There i[G]s no unified theory to ma[F]ke it less confu[C]sing
But the fa[C]ct that we?ve identified that th[C]ey exist at all[F]
Is so[G] remarkable that I am cons[F]tantly in a[C]we
[C]Up down strange charm t[F]op bottom
If you do[G]n?t know what a quark is it doesn?t mat[F]ter, you still got [C]em
