Great resource for teachers. Solar system song for 3-4th grade. Read on for lyrics. Recorded live at Riverside Telescope Makers Conference. Lyrics are free for non-profit educational use. Solar System Limericks Chorus: Mercury, Venus Earth, Mars, Jupiter Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto(er) Comets, Asteroids, Moons & Meteors Orbit ’round the Sun There’s a planet we know we call Mercury. It orbits the Sun in a big hurry. Only 88 days To go ’round all the way It’s a wonder it doesn’t look blurry. An Earth sized planet is Venus. But there’s not much in common between us. Acid clouds keep it hot. A paradise it’s not! On Venus the weather is heinous! We all know the planet called Earth. We call it the home of our birth. Seas, mountains and air, Life is found everywhere. It’s a planet of obvious worth. Mars is a planet that’s red it might have had life but looks dead It’s dusty and rusty with winds that are gusty. It’s cold there so cover your head. Asteroids are rocky debris. When we look at them closely we see Rocks that are jumbled, And crumbled and tumbled Pulled round by the sun’s gravity. Jupiter’s largest of all. A hydrogen helium ball. Twisting clouds humor us Moons that are numerous Comparing the two, Earth is small. The largest planet is Jupiter I learned about it on my computer clouds twisting orange like rust on a door hinge before I knew this I was stupider Of beautiful Saturn I sing a light fluffy puffball type thing we know from the math it would float in the bath of course it would leave a big ring Uranus rolls on it’s side with rings that stretch far and wide A big ball of gas As green as the grass It’s the name I just can’t abide A beautiful Cobalt blue Neptune’s a planet it’s true, With winds that are fast, And blizzards of frozen gas. All its moons must have quite a view! Pluto’s the farthest of all. Compared to the rest it is small. Of features and such, We don’t know very much Because Pluto is such a small ball! Sometimes from the outer spaces A comet visits sunny places. As it is warmed A tail is formed And around the Sun it races!
