Verse
G7Just reCmember that you're Cmaj7standing on a C6planet that's Cevolving
ReCvolving at nine-Amhundred C#7(dim)miles an G hour
And G7orbiting at Dm7nineteen miles a G7second, so it's Dm7reckoned,
A G7sun that is the G7source of all our Cpower.
Now the Csun and you and Cmaj7me, and all the C6stars that we can Csee
Are A7moving at a million miles a Dmday
In an Fouter spiral F#7(dim)arm at forty Cthousand miles an A7hour
Of the D9galaxy we G7call the Milky CWay.

Verse
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 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 !

Verse
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.
