Lyrics[]

  • It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a UFO; it's Interplanet Janet, there she goes!
  • Interplanet Janet took a trip to the shore...
  • So many things that Janet hadn't seen before!
  • The sun was shining down; the water felt so warm.
  • That's when Interplanet Janet's plan was born!
  • She said, "All those rays coming down for free
  • Heat the water and the air with their energy."
  • A little light went on, she gave a little cheer:
  • "YAAAY!"
  • Solar power to the people, what a bright idea!
  • Wrote a message in the sand with her tiny toes:
  • "Solar power to the people!" There she goes!
  • Sun can do a whole lot more than make you tan.
  • Sun can run a speedboat; sun can turn a fan.
  • Think of all the power high up in the blue
  • Really is amazing what a bright idea or two can do, ooh-ooh!
  • Janet flew to Hollywood to meet some stars,
  • But all that she could see were 'bout a million cars!
  • Imagine solar cars and if it came to pass
  • Think how we'd be saving gas
  • All those rays coming down for free
  • Can be stored in a solar battery
  • So when it's raining, never fear!
  • We'd still get from there to here-
  • And the air would be more clear!
  • Solar power to the people, what a bright idea!
  • Sun can run an engine, save a lot of fuel...
  • Sun can heat a heart-shaped swimming pool!
  • Garden in the winter, cook a summer stew
  • Really is amazing what a bright idea or two can do
  • The sun is a source of heat, light and electricity that's free and always there-and those solar panels produce energy without emitting the pollution that causes global warming.
  • We could light a building, we could run a bus.
  • Think of what the sun could do for us!
  • Run a calculator, heat a little zoo...
  • Isn't it amazing what a bright idea or two can do?
  • Ooh-ooh!
  • Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl
  • A solar-system Ms. from a future world
  • She travels like a rocket with her comet team
  • And Janet's got a plan to keep our planet green
  • Oh, the future's very near
  • Solar power to the people, what a bright idea! (2x)

Floating heads?

During the scene when the crowd is looking at Interplanet Janet, every time the men with white shirts have floating heads that aren't connected to anything.
