Space Poems and Songs

Stars
(to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star")

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
I know what you really are:
Giant ball of glowing gas,
One of billions in a mass!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh, how big you really are!

Twinkle, twinkle, giant star,
Larger than the Earth by far!
Since your distance is a lot,
You look like a tiny dot.
Twinkle, twinkle, giant star,
Very bright, yet very far!

Stars are twinkling, every one,
Some are bigger than the sun!
Just a twinkle in the sky,
Just because you're oh, so high!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh, how big you really are!

Moon
Are you lonely, Moon?
You giant white balloon!
You have no water, wind or air.
No wonder, nothing lives up there.
You can't grow trees or flowers or grass.
Your soil is only rocks and glass.
Even your light is not your own.
Instead it's from the sun that's shone.
Your gravity is weak, I hear.
You really have no atmosphere.
But don't be sad, Moon, please don't cry.
For I still love you in the sky.

Meish Goldish

The Changing Moon
Moon in the sky.
Some nights you're big and round.
Some nights you're very small.
Some nights you're only sliver size.
Some nights you're not at all.

The Solar System in Motion
(to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell")

The Earth turns around,
The Earth turns around.
Once a day, every day,
The Earth turns around.

The moon goes round the Earth,
The moon goes round the Earth.
Once a month, every month,
The moon goes round the Earth.

The Earth goes round the sun,
The Earth goes round the sun.
Once a year, every year,
The earth goes round the sun.

The Solar System
(to the tune of "This Old Man")

Mercury, number one.
It is closest to the sun.
Chorus:
With a round, round, go around
Planets 'round the sun
Sing about them everyone.
Venus bright, number two.
Morning and evening "star" we view.
chorus
Planet Earth, number three.
We live on it, you and me.
chorus
Planet Mars, number four.
Named for a roman god of war.
chorus
Number five, Jupiter.
Colored clouds around it stir.
chorus
Number six, big Saturn.
Many rings around it turn.
chorus
Number seven, Uranus.
It looks blue and green to us.
chorus
Number eight, stormy Neptune.
Triton is its frozen moon.
chorus
Number nine, tiny Pluto.
Farthest from the sun, you know.
chorus


 

Rockets

Rockets flying out in space,
Rockets flying every place,
Rockets from Earth
to Venus and Mars,
to silver moons and shining stars.
Rockets to galaxies far away,
I think I'll build a rocket some day.
I'll fuel it first,
I'll fly it away.
I'll land in time
for Christmas day.
On Pluto, Neptune,
Saturn or Mars.
On a silver moon,
Or a shining star.
