Zodiacal Zydeco

Beth Nielsen Chapman

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!
