Little Bit of Rock
2
Hey baby I'm a shooting starA blazing racing
tracer in the sky
3
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 craterI'm just a
Little Bit of Rock!
4
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
7
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
8
Small Bodies were 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
11
Eccentric in my orbit through the solar
plane Pass too close to sunward and I'll never be
the same
12
Small Bodies we're the Comets, hon' Tails forever
trailing out away from the Sun Hyakutake, Halley,
and a bit of Hale-Bopp
13
SL9 hit Jupiter that show was not a flop!
14
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...
