2:43Let's have a talk, Pluto We know you've been feeling blue They changed your class So, you go blame it on the IAU Now you're a dwarf planet And you're not thrilled, it's plain to see But if you look at what makes a planet great The dwarves have two out of three You orbit a star, and your star is called the Sun You have enough gravity to make you round, but you're missing one Do you clear your surroundings? Dwarf planet's don't clear their neighbourhood They don't have enough mass, but join the class If you don't know their names, you should Ceres, Makemake Haumea, Eris, Pluto Ceres, Makemake Haumea, Eris, Pluto Ceres, Makemake Haumea, Eris, Pluto Ceres, Makemake Haumea, Eris, Pluto I'm Ceres, I'm dark, but I have bright spots I'm the biggest in the asteroid belt And I've got nine-hour days If you sleep, you missed them I'm the only dwarf planet in the inner Solar System I'm Makemake and I take my time orbiting the Sun More than 300 Earth years for me is just one You can tell who I am by my reddish-brown hue They used to call me Easterbunny, look it up, it's true I'm Haumea, and they argued over who really found me I've got two moons and a ring around me My shape is warped because I spin so fast In a four-hour blaze, my days go past I'm Eris and there is no stranger orbit than this 'Cause we bend the rules, where I'm at, in the Scattered Disc (yup) I've been hearing some confusion in the past Pluto may be bigger, but I got more mass And I'm Pluto To the eight planets, I say, "Farewell!" I've got five moons, one's so large, that I orbit it as well I enjoy my days of blue skies and red snow But I send my love with my Tombaugh region And as astronomers keep up their studies They might find my other dwarf planet buddies There could be hundreds more in our system alone For now, they remain unknown, except for Ceres, Makemake Haumea, Eris, Pluto Ceres, Makemake Haumea, Eris, Pluto Ceres, Makemake Haumea, Eris, Pluto Ceres, Makemake Haumea, Eris, Pluto
