Original: “What a Wonderful World” by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss
Parody lyrics: Elizabeth Landau


I see spacecraft launch, they’re flying so far

Someday they’ll go to a nearby star

And I’ll see for myself

TRAPPIST-wonderful worlds


I’ll see seven globes

With orbits so tight

Each one might be

Half in day and half in night

But I’ll see for myself

TRAPPIST-wonderful worlds

So far we’ve looked with Spitzer, Hubble

TRAPPIST and K2

We’ll find out even more when we deploy James W.

These planets must be rocky

Cause of their density

If you like Earth, you’ll love TRAPPIST-1e

I’ll see orange skies

With the red dwarf’s glow

Maybe there’s ocean, maybe there’s snow

But I’ll see for myself

TRAPPIST-wonderful worlds

And we’ll see for ourselves

TRAPPIST-wonderful worlds
