What do the planets mean? And have you ever seen
Sunrise in the morn? It shined when you were born.
Saturn has rings all around it
I searched the sky and I found it

Solar system
Brings us wisdom

Then there’s the Milky Way, that’s where the angels play
You’ve seen the lover’s moon, looks good in the month of June
Neptune is god of the sea-ea-ea
Pluto is too far to see-ee-ee

Solar system
Brings us wisdom

The constellations are stars that form animals
Leo and Capricorn, too
Star bright, star light
Make this wish come true tonight

If Mars had life on it I might find my wife on it
Venus the goddess of love can thank all the stars above
Mercury’s close to the sun
You’ll see it when day is done

Solar system
Brings us wisdom
Solar system
Brings us wisdom
Solar
