Galaxy Song

We live on planet Earth Our closest star's the Sun The Moon is our satellite

The Earth spins 'round and 'round And spins around the Sun That's how we get day and night

In the day, the Sun shines bright But it doesn't really leave at night We just turned and looked the other way We'll come around again

We go around the Sun But we're not the only ones There are other planets above

They're also circling We're like a family It's called a solar system

Mercury and Venus, Earth and Mars Jupiter and Saturn, both very large Uranus and Neptune and even little Pluto too That's from our point of view

There is a band of lights That goes from left to right Now listen close what I say It may look separate But we're a part of it We call it the Milky Way

The Milky Way is filled with stars And lots of solar systems, some like ours So it's not a candy bar, you see? It's called a galaxy
