Animaniacs Yakko`s Universe Lyrics

Yakko`s Universe Lyrics

Yakko: 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!

YW+D
: 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!

* - In the original script, these lines
were:

YW+D : You might think that you're essential
Try
inconsequential
It's a small world after all!
