i did this one (independently) as "There's water, fire, air, and earth <stop abruptly>" following the cadence of the original more closely. interesting to see lehrer make the opposite decision, to break with the tune and space out and emphasise each element a little more; i think i prefer my version because it ends just as the audience is catching on, which makes the punchline funnier.
