Plutos Lament by The Beanies Lyrics

Pluto, that’s me. You might have heard my name
I used to be a planet, when we were all the same
One day all the smart folk decided I was out
They said I’m not included, they said, without a doubt
I’d always had my orbit. Who knew what was in store?
Suddenly I’m not a planet anymore

And all the other planets sing
‘‘Round and ‘round and ‘round we go
Floating past the sun!
Giddily twirling to and fro -
Oh we have such fun! Hey!’

I have mountain ranges of rock and ice like you
I’m made of the same stuff. I’m made of stardust too
Mercury, and Venus, and Saturn share the stage
But if you’re here for Pluto, you’ll have to turn the page
I go around the sun, like I’ve done for years before
But suddenly I’m not a planet anymore

And all the other planets sing
‘‘Round and ‘round and ‘round we go
Floating past the sun!
Giddily twirling to and fro -
Oh we have such fun! Hey!’
Back then I was happy. I never wore a frown
But now I’m cold and lonely since my world turned upside down
At least I have my moon, and the asteroids, and stars
But what I really want is to play with Earth and Mars
For years I was included, but I was shown the door
I am not a planet anymore

And all the other planets sing
‘‘Round and ‘round and ‘round we go
Floating past the sun!
Giddily twirling to and fro -
Oh we have such fun!’

Oh, I go around the sun, like I’ve done for years before
Oh, but suddenly I’m not a planet - I’m not a planet anymore
