Schoolhouse Rock, 1978
[Verse 1]
F G F G
They say our solar system is centered 'round the sun,
F G Am
Nine planets, large and small, parading by.
F G
But somewhere out in space,
C F
There's another shining face
C F G Am G
That you might see some night up in the sky.
[Chorus]
C D
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl,
F G G/B
A solar system Ms. from a future world,
C F
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
G G/B F G C
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen,
G G/B F G Am G
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen.
F G F G
She's been to the Sun, it's a lot of fun,
F G C
It's a hot-spot, It's a gas!
F G F G F G C
Hydrogen and helium in a big, bright, glowing mass.
F G F Ab C F G
It's a star, it's a star! So Janet got an autograph!
C F
Mercury was near the Sun so Janet stopped by,
G G/B G G/B C G
But the mercury on Mercury was much too high, so
C F
Janet split for Venus but on Venus she found
G G/B F G Am
She couldn't see a thing for all the clouds around.
F G F G
Earth looked exciting, kind of green and inviting,
F G C
So Janet thought she'd give it a go.
F G F G
But the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Janet,
F G C
She didn't even dare to say hello.
F G F Ab C F G
It's a bird, it's a plane! Why, it must be a UFO, but it was:
C D
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl,
F G G/B
A solar system Ms. from a future world,
C F
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
G G/B F G C
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen,
G G/B F G C
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen.
F G F C
Mars is red and Jupiter's big
F G C
And Saturn shows off its rings.
F G C D
Uranus is built on a funny tilt
F G
And Neptune is its twin,
G G/B G G/B F C F G
And Pluto, little Pluto, is the farthest planet from our Sun.
F G F G
They say our solar system is not alone in space.
F G Am
The Universe has endless mystery.
G F G
Some future astronaut
C F
May find out that what he'd thought
C F G Am G
Was a shooting star instead turned out to be...
C D
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl,
F G G/B
A solar system Ms. from a future world,
C F
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
G G/B F G C
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen,
G G/B F G C
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen.
G G/B F G Ab C
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't se - en.
