The Universe Song
Monty Python
Ton : C
G7Just re-Cmember that you're Cmaj7standing on aC6 planet that's Cevolving
ReCvolving at nine-AmhundredC#7(dim) miles an G hour
And G7orbiting at Dm7nineteen miles aG7 second, so it'sDm7 reckoned,
A G7sun that is the G7source of all our Cpower.
Now the Csun and you and Cmaj7me, and all theC6 stars that we canC see
Are A7moving at a million miles aDm day
In an Fouter spiral F#7(dim)arm at fortyC thousand miles anA7 hour
Of the D9galaxy we G7call the Milky CWay.
Instrumental :C7(dim) C A7 D7 G7 C G7
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars,
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side,
It bulges in the middle, sixty thousand light-years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
We're thiry 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 !

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz,
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, y'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 up in space,
'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth.
