The Sun is in the middle Mercury dances round Venus shining brightly Earth, jewel in the crown
Mars, our fiery neighbour Comes close from time to time Asteroid belt surrounding, Rocks in a circular line
Then Jupiter the giant With Saturn close behind Uranus, Neptune then Pluto Are now and then aligned
All affect each other Every single day Gravity binds together In a most peculiar way
The Solar System turns The Sun, it slowly burns Mercury is rising, it’s hardly surprising Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon it spurns
Through the periodic table, it’s perfectly able To create the elements of life Hydrogen and Helium churning over and over We are stardust, each one of us, ashes of a Supernova
