  • Yakko's Universe lyrics:

    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.
    Now we don't know how we got here;
    We're an important part here.
    It's a big universe and we're not! []
