Meet the Dwarf Lyrics:

CHORUS: Let’s go meet the dwarf There are five in our Let’s go meet the dwarf planets Now I’ll go ahead and list them I’ll name them again in case you missed one There’s , , , and They haven’t broken free from all the space debris There’s Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake and Haumea They’re smaller than ’s and they like to roam free

I’m the famous Pluto – as many of you know My ’s on a different path in the shape of an oval I used to be planet number 9, But I break the rules; I’m one of a kind I take my time orbiting the It’s a long, long trip, but I’m having fun! Five keep me company On our epic journey ’s the biggest, and then there’s , and the last one’s 248 years we travel out Beyond the other planet’s regular rout We hang out in the Where the ice debris will never melt

CHORUS

My name is Ceres, and I’m closest to the sun They found me in the Belt in 1801 I’m the only known between and They thought I was an asteroid, but I’m too round and large!

I’m Eris the biggest dwarf planet, and the slowest one… It takes me 557 years to travel around the sun I have one moon, , to orbit along with me We go way out past the Kuiper Belt, there’s so much more to see!

CHORUS

My name is Makemake, and everyone thought I was alone But my tiny moon, MK2, has been with me all along It takes 310 years for us to orbit ‘round the sun But out here in the Kuiper Belt… our adventures just begun

Hello my name’s Haumea, I’m not round shaped like my friends I rotate fast, every 4 hours, which stretched out both my ends! and Hi’iaka are my moons, I have just 2 And we live way out past in the Kuiper Belt it’s true!

CHORUS Now you’ve met the dwarf planets, there are 5 of them it’s true But the Solar System is a great big place, with more exploring left to do Keep watching the skies above us with a you look through Because the next person to discover one… could be me or you…
