    "Eight Planets" lyrics

Eight planets, eight planets,
Eight planets can you name them all?
Eight planets, eight planets,
Spinning round the Sun, shaped like a ball.

On planet number one
You'll be the closest to the Sun
Too hot for an atmosphere
Has only 88 days in a year
Can you name the planet?
It's almost 1000 degrees hot in the day
And 200 below zero at night
What's a guy supposed to wear on MERCURY?

When you hear of the "Evening Star"
Our sister planet that's not too far
2nd from the Sun reflecting light
That's why it's so bright
Can you name the planet?
Some people call it Earth's twin
because it's about the same size
You don't have to be a genius to know I'm talking about VENUS.

Third from the Sun
Count the moons, there's only one
It's the home of living things
Fish, birds and human beings
Can you name the planet?
C'mon, now. Everybody's got to get this.
You've got to get this. You've just got to get this!
It's EARTH.

Eight planets, eight planets,
Eight planets can you name them all?
Eight planets, eight planets,
Spinning round the Sun, shaped like a ball.

It's called the "Red Planet"
In 1976 two spacecraft landed on it
It might have supported life
When they found frozen water and dry ice
Can you name the planet?
Galileo first discovered it in 1610
Over 360 years later, Mariner landed on MARS.

It's the largest of them all
There's a "Great Red Spot" on this huge gas ball
12 years to orbit the Sun
More than 24 moons, why do we only have one?
Can you name the planet?
You know, a day only lasts 10 hours on our 5th planet
That means you could go to school twice a day, if you lived on JUPITER

It's the 2nd largest planet
It's known for the rings around it
They're made of rock and ice
It's much colder than earth, no chance for life
Can you name the planet?
Those rings look like a big hoola-hoop
It must be fun to be SATURN

Eight planets, eight planets,
Eight planets can you name them all?
Eight planets, eight planets,
Spinning round the Sun, shaped like a ball.

There's a blue and green ball of gas
It also has rings, floating round its mass
Moons both large and small
A rocky center in this ball
Can you name the planet?
It's named after the Greek god of the heavens
You're kidding me; it's really called URANUS?

Takes one hundred sixty four years
To orbit the Sun... what a wait!
3 billion miles from the earth
From the Sun it's number eight
Can you name the planet?
Well, it's so far away that we don't know much about it
But we do know that it has two moons
And the answer is NEPTUNE.

Eight planets, eight planets,
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
The first 4 planets you need to know
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
There used to be a planet called PLUTO.
