Oh Ethel Shockett has a rocket that’s big and red and fast
And when she tours our solar system she really has a blast
She’ll munch marshmallows with martians on cosmic camping trips
And Saturns rings she hoola hoops round and round her hips
Chorus
Oh Ethel Shockett
Love that Rocket
Riding round our solar system
On Mercury she sips ice tea for it is rather hot
Then blasts away through the milky way and goes to Pluto to cool off
On Jupiter she jump-ropes in her special springy space suite
On Neptune she sings with the stars
La la la la la la
And noodles on her moonflute
Solo over verse
Chorus
She races comet to Uranus and nearly always wins
Then space skates back to Venus doing loopty loops and spins
But when it’s time to get some rest she goes to her place of birth
Her favorite planet in the whole sky
Cozy mother Earth
Chorus
Round and round and round and round and round
Oh Mercury Venus Earth and Mars
Stop and eat a candy bar
Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
Can you get there in a balloon
One more planet left to go can you tell me do you know?
Why of course it’s old Pluto
Chorus
Round and round and round and round and round – (for as long as you like)
