Trans Neptunian Objects

When I was small, there were nine planets. Now, there's only eight. But there's a lot of dwarf planets out there, so here's a song about Pluto's new found status among the Trans Neptunian Objects. It's really just an excuse to sing lots of dwarf planet names.

Lyrics and Chords:

[C]

For [C]almost a century [F]Pluto was
A [C]planet, one of the [G]nine
It [F]had a sort of un[C]usual [Am]orbit
But [F]still they all got on just [G]fine

But [F]one day because of its [C]size, they said
[Dm]That's no planet, [Am]is it?
[F]Then they decided to [C]send New Hor[Am]izons
To [F]pay the [G]dwarf a [C]visit[G7]

[C]Pluto was under[F]standably miffed
To have [C]been taken down a [G]peg
And [F]as the spacecraft [C]did its [Am]flypast
[F]This is what Pluto [G]said,

[F]I never wanted to [C]be in your gang,
Even [Dm]though you think you are so [Am]cool,
But we're the [F]Trans Neptunian [C]Objects [Am]and
There's [F]more of [G]us than of [C]you[C7]

There's [F]Eris and Sedna, [C]Lempo, Varuna,
[G]Gonggong and Niku and [C]Drac,
[F]Ixion, Orcus [C]and Rhada[Am]manthus
And [F]thousands of [G]others like [C]that

[C]I don't need to be [F]part of your club
[C]Me and my moons are o[G]kay
[F]Charon, Styx, Hydra, [C]Kerberos, [Am]Nix
We're [F]happy out here with our [G]mates

[F]You can call me what[C]ever you like
It's [Dm]hardly sticks and [Am]stones
But we're the [F]Trans Neptunian [C]Objects [Am]and
The [F]Kuiper [G]Belt is our [C]home[C7]

There's [F]Eris and Sedna, [C]Lempo, Varuna,
[G]Gonggong and Niku and [C]Drac,
[F]Ixion, Orcus [C]and Rhada[Am]manthus
And [F]thousands of [G]others like [C]that[C7]

There's [F]Arrokoth, Biden and [C]Farout and Albion,
[G]Quaoar, and Ceto and [C]Zhulong
[F]Chaos, Haumea, and [C]several with [Am]names that are
[F]Hard to pro[G]nounce 'cos they're [C]too long

[C][F]
[C][G]
[F][C][Am]
[F][G]

[F]We don't want to[C] join your party
We [Dm]don't care about your [Am]rules
We're the [F]Trans Neptunian [C]Objects [Am]and
There's [F]more of [G]us than of [C]you[C7]

There's [F]Eris and Sedna, [C]Lempo, Varuna,
[G]Gonggong and Niku and [C]Drac,
[F]Ixion, Orcus [C]and Rhada[Am]manthus
And [F]thousands of [G]others like [C]that[C7]

There's [F]Arrokoth, Biden and [C]Farout and Albion,
[G]Quaoar, and Ceto and [C]Zhulong
[F]Chaos, Haumea, and [C]several with [Am]names that are
[F]Hard to pro[G]nounce 'cos they're [C]too long

[F][C]
[Dm][Am]

We're the [F]Trans Neptunian [C]Objects [Am]and
There's [F]more of [G]us than of [C]you
