Been done darlin'
Had to Google for this one as couldn't remember all the words, but seems strangely appropriate
(I'm having a bad week at work)
"
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 enough!
Just remember that you're standing on a planet thats evolving
revolving at nine-hundred miles an hour
it's orbiting at ninety miles a second, so it's reckoned
a sun that is the source 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 an outer spiral arm at forty-thousand miles an hour
of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
its a hundred thousand lightyears side to side
it bulges in the middle, sixteen-thousand lightyears thick but out by us its just three-thousand lightyears wide
We're thirty-thousand lightyears from galatic central point
we go round every two-hundred-million years
and our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universe.
musical interlude
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 you know twelve million miles a minute and thats 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"
