Lyrics:
I am the first planet
From our sun you see
My name is Mercury
Nothing orbits faster than me

The smallest planet with
the second hottest degree
My name is Mercury
No one is smaller than me

Messenger of the gods
Is what Mercury means
The Romans gave me my name
Cuz I'm the fastest they’d seen

A bit bigger I will be
Than the Earths moon that you see
To fill the Earth one time
It would take 18 of me

I’m the first planet
from our sun that beams
But I’m the second hottest
I can reach 800 degrees

88 earth days
Is the amount that I take
to orbit our sun once
that makes one year on me

I am the first planet
From our sun you see
My name is Mercury
Nothing orbits faster than me

The smallest planet with
the second hottest degree
My name is Mercury
No one is smaller than me

59 earth days
equals one day on me
My surface is made of stone
covered in craters you see

Oxygen (O2)
Sodium (Na)
Hydrogen (H2)
Helium (He)
Potassium (K)
Make up my Exosphere

I have no moons
And I have no rings
But I’m the second densest
Planet amongst other things

I am the first planet
From our sun you see
My name is Mercury
Nothing orbits faster than me

The smallest planet with
the second hottest degree
My name is Mercury
No one is smaller than me
