Re: Last Post Wins
/flute intro
Everybody lives on a street in a city
Or a village or a town for what it's worth.
And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent
That sits upon a planet known as Earth.
And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains
Which is out there spinning silently in space.
And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals
And also the entire human race.
It's a great big universe!
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks!
About the size of Mickey Rooney
It's big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky!
It's a big universe and we're not!
And we're part of a vast interplanetary system
Stretching seven hundred billion miles long.
With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one
That has life on it, although we could be wrong.
Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids
Including meteors and Halley's Comet too.
And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons
In a panoramic trillion-mile view.
And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars
In a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other
And still that's just a fraction of the way.
'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky
Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars!
And still the universe extends to a place that never ends
Which is maybe just inside a little jar!
It's a great big universe!
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks!
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
Though we don't know how it got here,
We're an important part here
It's a big universe, and it's ours!
