Galaxy Song Lyrics - Monty Python

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, 

And things seem hard or tough, 

And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, 

And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough, 

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving 

And revolving at 900 miles an hour. 

It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned, 

The sun that is the source of all our power. 

Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, 

Are moving at a million miles a day, 

In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, 

Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way. 

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars; 

It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side; 

It bulges in the middle sixteen 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.
