Brilliant planets, up above
Gorgeous Venus, with her doves.
Alluring Saturn, with your rings so bright,
Dear Jupiter, please bring us your light.
Oh Neptune, you wise sea king,
Come on Mars, show us your thing.
Please now Uranus, don’t be afraid,
You and Mercury always play this silly charade.
Pluto, Pluto, I could never forget you,
For you and Earth are both simply dazzling, it’s true.
Brilliant planets, up above
Please continue to shower us with love.
