Lyrics:
We all come from a place
The entire human race
Depends upon our planet
Racing through outer space
And there are eight planets
That orbit around the sun
Come on, we’ll introduce you
And name them one by one:
Chorus
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn
Uranus, Neptune
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn
Uranus, Neptune
Mercury:
I’m Mercury, the smallest planet, you see
You humans could never live on me
My atmosphere’s too thin, and I orbit too fast
My days are long
Star:
About 60 earth days as a matter of fact
Venus:
I am Venus, my atmosphere’s super hot
I spin backwards in a way the earth does not
I’m closest to the earth in distance and size
I have no moons, I hope you can sympathize
Earth:
I’m earth, the planet that you’re on, ya know
I’m terrestrial, but covered in H20
I collide with things that I can’t avoid
But my atmosphere protects me from meteoroids
Mars:
I’m Mars and you can jump higher on me,
Because I have a third of earth’s gravity
I hear you plan to visit soon
I’ll be your first destination since the moon
Jupiter:
I’m Jupiter, with my 79 moon crew
Like Io and S/2003…
Moons:
J 2!
Jupiter:
Yea, you could say I have a pretty large girth
Here’s a storm twice the size of yo momma,
Earth
Moons:
Ohhh!
Saturn:
My name’s Saturn, check out my pretty rings
These rings are a few of my favorite things
I’m a giant made of hydrogen and helium
And please, stop hitting me with things
Uranus:
My name’s Uranus, and I’m an ice giant
Neptune:
That’s dope!
Uranus:
I was the first planet found with a telescope
I rotate backwards, and on my side
I smell like rotten eggs,
But that’s just the hydrogen sulfide
Neptune:
I’m Neptune, I’m the windiest planet around
I’ve got supersonic winds
That’s faster than sound
An ice giant with (over) 13 moons
And a dark vortex that may go away soon
Pluto:
I’m Pluto, and I will not be forgotten!
Stage Manager:
Pluto, Pluto, Pluto, Pluto… beautiful, but, um… yea, we’ve been over this, and… you’re considered a dwarf planet these days, sooo…
Pluto:
Gurl, I’m the biggest object in the Kuiper Belt.
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn
Uranus, Neptune
Jupiter:
Sing along, real strong, for the next tune
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn
Uranus, Neptune
Pluto:
And, I guess, not Pluto
