Lyrics:

Let’s have a talk, Pluto. We know you’ve been feeling blue

They changed your class, so you go blame it on the IAU

Now you’re a dwarf planet, and you’re not thrilled, it’s plain to see

But if you look at what makes a planet great

The dwarves have two out of three:

1 You orbit a star, and your star is called the sun

2 You have enough gravity to make you round, but you’re missing one:

3 Do you clear your surroundings?

Dwarf planets don’t clear their neighborhood

They don’t have enough mass, but join the class

If you don’t know their names, you should

(Repeat)

I’m Ceres. I’m dark, but I have bright spots

I’m the biggest in the asteroid belt, and I’ve got

9-hour days. If you sleep, you missed ‘em

I’m the only dwarf in the inner solar system

I’m Makemake and I take my time orbiting the sun

More than 300 earth years for me is just one

You can tell who I am by my reddish-brown hue

They used to call me Easterbunny

Look it up. It’s true

I’m Haumea, and they argued over who really found me

I’ve got two moons and a ring around me

My shape is warped because I spin so fast

In a four-hour blaze, my days go past

I’m Eris, and there is no stranger orbit than this, ‘cuz we

Bend the rules where I’m at in the Scattered Disc

I’ve been hearing some confusion in the past:

Pluto may be bigger, but I got more mass

And I’m Pluto!

To the eight planets I say “Farewell”

I’ve got 5 moons, and one’s so large, that I orbit it as well

I enjoy my days of blue skies and red snow

But I send my love with my Tombaugh Regio

And as astronomers keep up their studies

They might find our other dwarf planet buddies

There could hundreds more in our system alone

For now they remain unknown

...except for

Ceres
