The Big Bang Band

I am really digging these lyrics and this video. It even has banjo! It goes to the tune of “The Green Grass Grows All Around.”

and the Big Band Band

There was a hole, in the galaxy
The blackest hole
That you ever did see.
In the middle of the hole was a singularity
And the Spiral arms swirled all around,
all around. And the Spiral arms swirled all around.

And ’round this hole, was a ball of stars
The central core of the galaxy.
Oh, the stars in the core, round the hole in the middle,
with a singularity, and the spiral arms swirled…

And from this core, spread a disc of dust.
The gas and dust of the galaxy.
Oh, a disc made of dust, round the stars in the core
with a hole in the middle, with a singularity….

And through this disk wound spiral arms
Glowing bright in the galaxy.
Oh bright spiral arms, through a disc made of dust,
round the stars in the core…

And in one arm, there was a sun
Burning bright in the galaxy.
Oh a sun in an arm through a disc made of dust
round the stars in the core…

And round this sun there was a planet.
The pretties planet that you ever did see.
Oh a planet ’round a sun, and the sun in an arm,
through a disc made of dust round the stars in the core…

And on this planet was you and me,
Love and life in the galaxy.
Oh the people on the planet, and the planet ’round the sun
and the sun in an arm, through a disc made of dust,
Round the stars in the core, with a hole in the middle
with a singularity, and the spiral arms swirled all around,
all around. And the spiral arms swirled all around.
