[Verse 1]

Goodbye Pluto

So long to your tradition

And your solo life's ambition

Of just whirling 'round the sun

Goodbye Pluto

Being number nine was nice

'Til you lost your planetary status

Now you're simply rock and ice

There are eight that spin before you

And they use up all the rays

That the sun gives to her children

To turn the night to day

So goodbye Pluto

I know it doesn't seem quite fair

Three thousand million miles away

And God just leaves you there

[Chorus]

And I think I understand

When the spin gets out of hand

Sometimes all that's left

Is how to say goodbye

[Verse 2]

Goodbye Pluto

All this bidding you adiеu

Ah, but both of us know better

That your orbiting ain't through

Nevеr mind them, Pluto

With one roll around the sun

Two hundred fifty years go by

And when that year is done

By that time Pluto

They'll be dead and gone to dust

Taking their equations with them

Their opinions gone to rust

[Chorus]

And I think I understand

When the spin gets out of hand

Sometimes all that's left

Is how to say goodbye

[Verse 3]

Goodbye old me

You were useful while you lasted

Now I'm dropping off that bastard

That kept springtime out of reach

Farewell, you old familiar

As you track your way through space

There comes a time when all of us

Are done and get replaced

So goodbye Pluto

You'll be salty for a while

But a couple trips around old Sol and

You'll be back in style

[Chorus]

And I think I understand

When the spin gets out of hand

Sometimes all that's left

Is how to say goodbye

Sometimes all that's left

Is how to say goodbye
