I remember this, in fact, I have been searching on and off for a long time.

The lyrics and tune I remembered were “Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars…” but it was useless to search because the lyrics are so common!

Thanks for finding it.

The other lyrics I remember is:

“Seven miles a second  
Seven miles a second  
A rocket ship could make the trip in  
Seven miles a second”

I found it at [A Child's Introduction To Outer Space (Side 1) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eliDhERy3E) and [A Child's Introduction To Outer Space (Side 2) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwmGiPvEWbA)
