SPACE SONGS & RHYMES

 

NINE LITTLE PLANETS
Tune:  “Ten Little Indians”

One little, two little, three little planets,
Four little, five little, six little planets,
Seven little, eight little, nine little planets,
Spinning ‘round the sun.

MERCURY, VENUS, EARTH & MARS
Tune:  “When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again”

The planets revolve around the sun, Hooray! Hooray!
The planets revolve around the sun, Hooray! Hooray!
The planets revolve around the sun, and spin on their axis, everyone.
And they all go spinning, around and around, they go!

Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, Hooray! Hooray!
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, Hooray! Hooray!
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are whirling and twirling around the sun.
And they all go spinning, around and around, they go!

Jupiter, Saturn are next in line, Hooray! Hooray!
Jupiter, Saturn are next in line, Hooray! Hooray!
Jupiter, Saturn are next in line, Uranus, Neptune, & Pluto make nine.
And they all go spinning, around and around, they go!

CLIMB ABOARD THE SPACE SHIP
Tune:  “ Eensy, Weensy Spider”

Climb aboard the space ship, we’re going to the moon.
Hurry and get ready, we’re going to blast off soon.
Put on your helmets, and buckle up real tight.
Here comes the count down.  Let’s count with all our might.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1  - blast off!

SAW A ROCKET
Tune:  “Clementine”

Saw a rocket, saw a rocket,
Saw a rocket just now.
Just now I saw a rocket
And it shot up to the stars.

Watched it climb, watched it climb,
Watched it climb just now.
Just now I watched it climb
On it’s mission to Mars.
