The Eight Planets Rap
© Rudolph 2009
So, why did the Big Bang Bang?
I really don’t know why.
But it left us with Eight Planets.
Let’s look up in the sky.
The closest planet out there
to the sun
is the planet Mercury.
Let’s call it Planet One.
It’s the fastest planet out there
as it orbits around the sun
It was clearly built for speed
and that’s how it has fun.
The next planet out there
that we get to view
is the hottest planet Venus.
Let’s call it Planet Two.
It is really hot up there.
We’re talking hundreds of degrees
That’s more than hot enough
to melt a lot of cheese.
The next planet that
we get to see.
is the Earth we’re living on.
Let’s call it Planet Three.
It is the only one of eight
that supports life
So, this is the only planet
you could possibly find a wife.
The next planet out there
That so many adore
is the planet Mars.
Let’s call it Planet Four.
The Big Red planet
many want to Terra Form
so that we can heat it up
and make it nice and warm.
The next planet on which
we will arrive
is the planet Jupiter.
Let’s Call it Planet Five.
It is the biggest planet out there
A huge giant gas ball
I’m not sure what’s keeping it up
I just hope it doesn’t fall.
The next planet
in our bag of tricks
is the ringed planet Saturn.
Let’s call it Planet Six.
It’s the second largest planet
made mostly of hydrogen.
A lifeless planet
devoid of all men.
The next planet
that is way up close to heaven
is the planet Uranus.
Let’s call it Planet Seven
It’s the third largest Planet.
A huge Giant of Ice
It has the coldest atmosphere.
You wouldn’t find it very nice.
The last planet that
we do await
is the planet Neptune.
Let’s call it Planet Eight.
It’s another Ice Giant.
The windiest of them all.
It’s way too windy up there
to play baseball.
Oh, first we had nine planets.
I was taught that that was so.
Then the IAU got mad
and kicked out poor Pluto.
Now we’re left with only eight
and it’s messing with my mind.
What did Pluto do
to get the boot in the behind?
