<spoken> Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, And things seem hard or tough, And people are
stupid, obnoxious or daft, <sung> And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And reolving at nine thousand miles
an hour. It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, The sun that is the source of
all our power. Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, Are moving at a
million miles a day, In the outer spiral arm, at fourteen thousand miles an hour, Of a galaxy we
call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars; It's a hundred thousand light-years side to
side; It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick, But out by us it's just three
thousand light-years wide. We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point, We go
'round every two hundred million years; And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions In this
amazing and expanding universe.
<waltz>
Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, In all of the directions it can whiz; As fast
as it can go, that's the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute and that's the
fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly
unlikely is your birth; And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, 'Cause
there's bugger all down here on Earth!
