Imagine you’re in a world so high,

High above the blue, blue sky.

With Martians goin’ round on Mars

Smiling happy in their cars.

Merpeople plunging in an ocean blue, on the planet of Neptune.

Rock golems twirl and turn

On sparkling, fun Saturn.

Famous aliens on the beaches,

All munching delicious peaches.

Showing their happiness on Venus.

Aliens fly to Uranus

Because it’s not at all dangerous.

Tempests are called sads, because they sadden Jupiter.

Foreigners like Mercury

Because it’s an awesome nursery.

And everyone loves, for all they’re worth,

An awesome planet, planet Earth!

Where we dream of light-speed rockets

Where we imagine this world so high.
