Countdown ready, helmets tight,
Rocket ship is shining bright.
Five, four, three — hold on tight,
Blast off into the starry night!
Zooming past the Moon so soon,
Wave goodbye — we’ll be back by noon.
Through the dark where the sunshine runs,
Here’s Mercury — closest to the sun!
Round and round the sun we go,
Spinning planets nice and slow.
Big and small, every one,
Dancing round the golden sun!
Venus glows with a cloudy face,
Earth rolls by — our special place.
Mars goes red, give him a cheer,
Planet friends are all right here!
Round and round the sun we go,
Spinning planets nice and slow.
Eight little planets, row by row,
Round and round the sun we go!
Jupiter’s big — boom-boom-strong!
Saturn’s rings go ding-ding-dong!
Uranus tips, rolls that way,
Neptune blows the clouds away!
Round and round the sun we go,
Spinning planets nice and slow.
Eight little planets, row by row,
Round and round the sun we go!
Time to stop and float around,
Space walk — no feet on the ground!
Wave to stars that blink and glow,
Nice and slow… ready? Go!
Engines whisper, slowing down,
Rocket ship turns back around.
Wave to space, the moon, the sun,
We’ll be back — space adventure done
