♪ Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at a thousand miles an hour
While orbiting at 18 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A 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 traveling ten million miles a day
In the outer spiral arm, at half a million miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way ♫
♪ Now the galaxy itself contains a hundred billion 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 twenty-five thousand light-years from galactic central point
We go round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of billions and trillions
In this amazing and expanding universe ♫
♪ Now the universe itself keeps on extending and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
Eleven million miles a minute, and that’s the fastest speed there is
So remember when you’re feeling very small and insecure
How incredibly unlikely was your birth
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere out in space
Because there damn sure isn’t any here on earth ♫
