Apparently the sun's spectral absorption lines were discovered 4 years before the song was made

I don't expect children's song writers have ever been sufficiently into science that they know about new discoveries that don't matter to them at all quickly. I doubt many people knew even the top five elements that the sun consists of

I think it's fair for them to wonder what a far away star was. They probably didn't even know that the sun was a star
