C. Shells – “Just for Fun!” CD/Cassette
1. An alien landed in Erin’s
backyard
Asked if
she’d like a ride to the heavens
“Wait a
minute, I’ll go ask my mom,” she said
“It’s
okay if I’m back by seven. What’s your name?” asked little Erin
“MerVEM
J. SUNeP, named after the planets.
I also
have a sister named Janet.”
So off they flew into the air, to visit the planets way out there
CHORUS: MerVEM J. SUNeP where will you take us?
To each of the planets that circle the sun
MerVEM J. SUNeP what will you teach us?
That each of the planets can be lots of fun
2. The first place we’ll go is to the sun but we mustn’t get too close
Because
it’s 25 million degrees and it will turn us into toast
Mercury
is the very first planet and closest to the sun
A hot
rocky desert with no air, so breathing wouldn’t be much fun
Venus is
the hottest at number two and the brightest in the sky
A place
with volcanoes and acid clouds,
If we
went there we’d be french-fried
3. The pretty green Earth is
your home
With
people, water, animals and air
It’ll
be your home for a long, long time, if you learn how to care
Mars
comes up as number four with sand dunes made of rust
It has
season’s just like the Earth but its storms are made of dust
Number
five is giant Jupiter the largest planet of gas I’ve seen
I guess
all the people who live there must eat a lot of beans
4. Number six is Saturn,
it’s rings look very nice
They’re
very wide but awfully thin, they’re made of rocks and ice
Eighteen
moons Uranus has, it’s planet number seven
Although
it is hard to see, it’s the green one in our heavens
Bring a
sweater when we go to Neptune the planet colored blue
It’s
over 300 degrees below zero, well, I guess I’d be blue, too
Pluto is
the smallest one and also the farthest away
It takes
248 years to circle the sun
Guess you
won’t have a lot of birthdays
