Lyrics The Universe Song/The Galaxy Song by Monty Python. Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles ..

In this amazing and expanding universe. (waltz) Twelve million miles a minute and that’s the fastest speed there is. ‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth!

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, in all of the directions it can whizz, As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know, twelve 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,

of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way. but out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide. in this amazing and expanding universe. twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
