Little Bit of Rock. Hey baby I'm a shooting star —A blazing racing tracer in the sky. I'm heading for Earth's surface -- 50,000 miles an hour Gonna hear my sudden impact gonna feel my power Catch you later when I crater —I'm just a Little Bit of Rock !. Small Bodies we're the Meteors

Hey baby I'm a shooting star—A blazing racing tracer in the sky
I'm heading for Earth's surface -- 50,000 miles an hour Gonna hear my sudden impact gonna feel my power Catch you later when I crater—I'm just a Little Bit of Rock!
Small Bodies we're the Meteors There's one of us who wiped out all the dinosaurs We're icy bits of comet, we're iron and we're rock Streaking through the sky, we're an atmospheric shock
Hey baby I'm a rock in space A jumbled tumbling body in the sky
Between Jupiter and Mars I make my presence felt In a band of rocky relics called the Asteroid Belt Pallas, Ceres, Vesta -- And many thousand bits of rock
Small Bodies we’re the asteroids, a Mess of planetesimals out swinging in the voids Chunks of past collisions or a tiny world unformed Watch out for the earth-crossers, you have been warned!
Hey baby I'm a hunk sublime, An icy dirty snowball in the sky Gases streaming from my nucleus give a night-time treat I'm a drop-out from the Oort Cloud with a regular beat
Eccentric in my orbit through the solar plane Pass too close to sunward and I'll never be the same
Small Bodies we're the Comets, hon' Tails forever trailing out away from the Sun Hyakutake, Halley, and a bit of Hale-Bopp
Rocking round the System we're Small Bodies, right We're Asteroids and Comets and we're difficult to sight If we plunge into your atmosphere we set the skies alight Then we're Meteors and fireballs, you'll glimpse us in the night...
