We are the planets of the solar system, different sizes for every one
The music never ends, we are such good friends, and we all orbit the sun
 Here comes the Sun rapping first on this track, from the beginning, I'm the centre of the solar system, planets be spinning
Around me, so hot, I'm roasting, ya see? Now I pass the mic to the planet closest to me
 Mercury! The smallest planet, small as Earth's Moon, I get super hot and cold and I spin very slow
I'm Venus! I've got mountains and volcanoes that spray, I'm the same size as Earth but spin the opposite way
 Yeah, I'm Earth, I'm the home to every boy and girl - (Sung by Stars) Such a beautiful, beautiful world
I'm Mars, the red planet, I've got deserts and ice, and I've got two moons - nice - that's like one moon, twice!
 I'm Jupiter! The biggest planet, I'm humungous, gargantuan, I spin the fastest, rap the fastest, plus I'm handsome, BAM SON!
Oh please, I'm Saturn, check out my beautiful rings - Made up of billions of rocks, dust, and other things
 I'm Uranus, I say that with pride, okay, I lied, I'm embarrassed 'cause I'm the only planet lying on its side
I'm Neptune, I'm cold, dark, windy and mysterious, I'm very stormy, so bring an umbrella - I'm serious
 We are the planets of the solar system, different sizes for every one
The music never ends, we are such good friends, and we all orbit the sun
