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 14* 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
