Galaxy Song

Galaxy Song Lyrics

Whenever life gets you down Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough......

Just, remember that you standing on a planet thats evolving,
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
Its orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so its reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In an outer spiral arm at fourty thousand miles an hour
In a galaxy we call the milky way.

Our galaxy itself, contains a hundred billion stars,
Its a hundred thousand light years side-to-side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
but out by us it just three thousand light years wide.

We're thirty thousand light years fron galactic central point,
We go round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and
expanding universe.

[Interlude]

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
In all of the directions it can wizz.
As fast as it can go, the speed of light ya know,
Twelve million miles a minute and thats the fastest speed there is,
So remember when your feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth.
And pray that theres intellegent life somewhere up in space,
Cause theres bugger-all down here on earth.
