Yakko's Universe

Everybody lives on a street, in a city Or a village or a town for what it's worth And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent That sits upon a planet known as Earth And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains Which is out there spinning silently in space And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals And also the entire human race! It's a great big universe And we're all really puny We're just tiny little specks About the size of Mickey Rooney It's big and black and inky And we are small and dinky It's a big universe, and we're not! And we're part of a vast interplanetary system Stretching seven hundred billion miles long With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one That has life on it—although we could be wrong Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids Including meteors and Halley's Comet too And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons In a panoramic trillion-mile view! And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars In a galaxy we call the Milky Way It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other And still that's just a fraction of the way 'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars And still the universe extends to a place that never ends Which is maybe just inside a little jar! It's a great big universe And we're all really puny We're just tiny little specks About the size of Mickey Rooney Though we don't know how it got here We're an important part here It's a big universe, and it's ours!
