Galaxy Song lyrics
by Monty Python
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. BrownAnd things seem hard or toughAnd people are stupid, obnoxious or daftAnd you feel that you've had quite enough...Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hourThat's orbiting at 90 miles a second, so it's reckoned, the sun that is the source of all our powerThe Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see are moving at a million miles a dayIn an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, of a galaxy we call the Milky WayOur Galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars, it's a hundred thousand lightyears side to sideIt bulges in the middle, 16,000 lightyears thick, but out by us it's just 3,000 lightyears wideWe're 30,000 lightyears from galactic central point, we go round every 200 million yearsAnd our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universeThe universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, in all of the directions it can whizzAs fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there isSo remember when you're feeling very small and insecure how amazingly unlikely is your birthAnd pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space ''cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
