And is very bright, and is very bright.
The Earth, the Earth,

We've gravity and water
And oxygen too.

And it has no oxygen
So we couldn't breathe, we couldn't breathe.

And it has twelve moons, it has twelve moons.

And nine moons, and nine moons,
Eight revolve counterclockwise
But one is the opposite.
It goes clockwise, it goes clockwise.
Uranus rotates strangely, Uranus rotates strangely,
On its axis, on its axis,
Its North Pole faces the sun
For almost twenty years
Then the South Pole does the same, the South Pole does the same.
Neptune is the outermost, Neptune is the outermost,
Of the four gas giants, of the four gas giants
It has an icy surface
That makes it very cold,

From the sun, from the sun,
It's very hard to find
Because it is so far away
From the Earth, from the Earth.
