[00:01]Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
[00:04]And things seem hard or tough
[00:08]And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
[00:12]And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff
[00:21]Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
[00:27]And revolving at 900 miles an hour
[00:31]It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned
[00:35]The sun that is the source of all our power
[00:39]The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
[00:43]Are moving at a million miles a day
[00:47]In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
[00:51]Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way
[01:03]Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
[01:07]It's 100,000 light-years side-to-side
[01:11]It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick
[01:14]But out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide
[01:19]We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point
[01:23]We go round every 200 million years
[01:26]And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
[01:30]In this amazing and expanding universe
[01:35]
[02:06]The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
[02:10]In all of the directions it can whiz
[02:15]As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know
[02:18]Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
[02:22]So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
[02:26]How amazingly unlikely is your birth
[02:30]And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
[02:34]Because there's bugger all down here on Earth
