The Dwarf Planet Song - Hopscotch Songs
Lyrics by:Matthew Pace/Joanna Pace
Composed by:Matthew Pace/Joanna Pace
Let's have a talk pluto
We know you've been feeling blue
They changed your class
So you go blame it on the IAU
Now you're a dwarf planet
And you're not thrilled it's plain to see
But if you look at what makes a planet great
The dwarves have two out of three
You orbit a star and your star is called the sun
You have enough gravity to to make you round
But you're missing one
Do you clear your surroundings
Dwarf planet's don't clear their neighbourhood
They don't have enough mass but join the class
If you don't know their names you should
Ceres makemake
Haumea eris pluto
Ceres makemake
Haumea eris pluto
Ceres makemake
Haumea eris pluto
Ceres makemake
Haumea eris pluto
I'm ceres I'm dark but I have bright spots
I'm the biggest in the asteroid belt
And I've got nine-hour days
If you sleep you missed them
I'm the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system
I'm makemake and I take my time orbiting the sun
More that three hundred earth years for me is just one
You can tell who I am by my reddish-brown hue
They used to call me easterbunny
Look it up it's true
I'm Haumea and they argued over who really found me
I've got two moons and a ring around me
My shape is warped because I spin so fast
In a four-hour blaze my days go past
I'm eris and there is no stranger orbit than this
'Cause we bend the rules
Where I'm at in the scattered disc yup
I've been hearing some confusion in the past
Pluto may be bigger but I got more mass
And I'm pluto
To the eight planets I say farewell
I've got five moons one's so large
That I orbit it as well
I enjoy my days of blue skies and red snow
But I send my love with my Tombaugh region
And as astronomers keep up their studies
They might find my other dwarf planet buddies
There could be hundreds more in our system alone
For now they remain unknown
Except for
Ceres makemake
Haumea eris pluto
Ceres makemake
Haumea eris pluto
Ceres makemake
Haumea eris pluto
Ceres makemake
Haumea eris pluto
