Zodiacal Zydeco

There are constellations in the sky they call the Zodiac

Don't be confused by that strange word it's just the planets' path

The planets wander night to night on the ecliptic plane

And astronomers would much prefer that scientific name

Zo-di-a-cal Zydeco

Will make you sing and dance

The ecliptic is the name to use

For the Sun and the planets' path

Aaaaaaaaayeeeeeeeeeaaaaayyyyooooohhhh!!!! Zodiacal!

The planets are called wanderers cause they move among the stars

The ecliptic is where they are found if you wonder where they are

Our solar system is a disc that's just how it was formed

The planets have gone around in it from the time that they were born

Zo-di-a-cal Zydeco

Will make you sing and dance

The ecliptic is the name to use

For the Sun and the planets' path

Aaaaaaaaayeeeeeeeeeaaaaayyyyooooohhhh!!!! Zodiacal!

The planets have no magic powers, Newton showed us that

Johannes Kepler made three laws and proved it all with math

So if anyone is in the dark about our nighttime sky

Tell them where the planets are and you can tell them why!

Zo-di-a-cal Zydeco

Will make you sing and dance

The ecliptic is the name to use

For the Sun and the planets' path

Aaaaaaaaayeeeeeeeeeaaaaayyyyooooohhhh!!!! Zodiacal!

Aaaaaaaaayeeeeeeeeeaaaaayyyyooooohhhh
