Monty Python – Galaxy song Lyric

aus dem Album Der Sinn des Lebens

Just remember that
you´re standing on a planet
that´s evolving and revolving at nine hundred
miles an hour,
that´s orbiting at nineteen miles
a second, so it´s reckoned
a sun that is the cource of all our power
the sun and you and me
and all the stars that we can see
are moving at a million miles a day,
in and outer spiral arm
at forty thousand miles an hour
of the galaxy we call the milky way

Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
it´s 100,000 light years side to side
it bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years wide
we´re 30,000 light years from galactic central point,
we go round every 200 million years
and our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
in this amazing and expanding universe

The Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding

in all of the directions in can whizz
as fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know
12 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 somewehere up in space
because there´s bugger all down here on earth
