These Old Planets
By Cindy Grigg
  

1     Sing to the tune of "This Old Man."
 
2     Our planets
Now are eight.
Name them in order and you'll be great!
With a knick-knack, paddy-whack,
Floating in space,
Around the sun the planets race.

 
3     Mercury
Is number one,
It's small and fast and close to the sun.
With a knick-knack, paddy-whack,
Floating in space,
Mercury is in first place.
 
4     Venus
Is number two.
It's about as big as Earth but has no moon.
With a knick-knack, paddy-whack,
Floating in space,
Venus is in second place.
 
5     Planet Earth
Is number three.
It has air that we can breathe.
With a knick-knack, paddy-whack,
The only living things in space,
Planet Earth is in third place.
