Lyrics

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun,
the smallest of the whole lot.
Next is Venus, our lovely morning star,
Warmer than the Earth next door.

The Earth is where we live,
An oasis in outer space.
With life and water,
A bright amazing place.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
They make up this great solar system of ours.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune,
All planets large and small,
Glide ‘round the Sun, the Sun, the Sun.
Glide ‘round the Sun.

Mars is red and fourth on the list,
A freezing and dusty land.
Jupiter the giant of all the planets,
Dark stripes and swirls so grand.

The sun is the heart,
At the center she appears.
A big star that shines bright,
Lighting up our world each year.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
They make up this great solar system of ours.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune,
All planets large and small.
Glide ‘round the Sun, the Sun, the Sun.
Glide ‘round the Sun.

Then look for Saturn through your long telescope,
His beautiful rings circle him.
And with Uranus and Neptune, we end,
These blue ice giants sit on the final rim.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
They make up this great solar system of ours.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune,
All planets large and small.
Glide ‘round the Sun, the Sun, the Sun.
Glide ‘round the Sun.
