A song about the characteristics of some of the planets in our solar system.
'Lumps and Bumps' - Vocal
There are lumps and bumps on our moon
There are lumps and bumps on our moon
In the sky at night
In the soft starlight
There are lumps and bumps on our moonThere are ridges and craters on Mercury
There are ridges and craters on Mercury
In the sky at night
In the soft starlight
There are ridges and craters on MercuryThere are clouds and volcanoes on Venus
There are clouds and volcanoes on Venus
In the sky at night
In the soft starlight
There are clouds and volcanoes on VenusThere is life all around us on Earth
There is life all around us on Earth
In the sky at night
In the soft starlight
There is life all around us on EarthThere is rubble and rust up on Mars
There is rubble and rust up on Mars
In the sky at night
In the soft starlight
There is rubble and rust up on MarsThere are moons all a-spinning round Jupiter
There are moons all a-spinning round Jupiter
In the sky at night
In the soft starlight
There are moons all a-spinning round JupiterThere are rings all a-running round Saturn
There are rings all a-running round Saturn
In the sky at night
In the soft starlight
There are rings all a-running round SaturnThen Uranus and Neptune and more
Yes, Uranus and Neptune and more
In the sky at night
In the soft starlight
Yes, Uranus and Neptune and moreAnd our planets, they orbit the sun
Yes, our planets, they orbit the sun
With the rings all a-running,
And the moons all a-spinning,
And the rubble and rust,
And the life on Earth,
And the clouds and volcanoes,
And the ridges and craters,
And the lumps and bumps,
And you and me…
So look up at night
In the soft starlight…
Yes, our planets, they orbit the sun.
Lumps and bumps
'Lumps and bumps' briefly describes a few physical characteristics of the moon and the planets within the solar system, to which you can dance a lively waltz! It’s an invitation to look up at the night sky in the soft starlight. So our moon has ‘lumps’ and ‘bumps’, then - in planetary order from the sun - Mercury has ‘ridges’ and ‘craters’, Venus has ‘clouds’ and ‘volcanoes’, the Earth has ‘life all around’, Mars has ‘rubble’ and ‘rust’, Jupiter has ‘spinning moons’, Saturn has ‘rings a-running’, then (beyond our view) there are Uranus, Neptune and more.
