A modern version of “The Green Grass Grows All Around”—and a reminder that we all live in the same place, really.
We all live in the Milky Way
The Milky Way’s our galaxy
We all live in the Milky Way
It’s home to you and me
And in that galaxy, there’s a star
A fine star called the sun
A star in the middle of a galaxy
That’s home to you and me
We all live…
Around that star, a planet spins
A fine planet, called the earth
Planet ‘round the star,
Star in the middle of a galaxy
That’s home to you and me
We all live…
On that planet, there’s a sea
A fine sea, a shining sea
Sea on the planet, planet ‘round the star…
We all live…
By that sea, there’s a land
A fine land, a very fine land
Land by the sea…
We all live…
In that land, there’s a town
A Fine town, a very fine town
Town in the land, land by the sea…
We all live…
In that town, there’s a street
A fine street, a very fine street
Street in the town, town in the land…
We all live…
In that town, there’s a street
A fine street, a very fine street
Street in the town, town in the land…
We all live…
On that street, there’s a house
A fine house, your house!
House on the street, street in the town…
We all live…
In that house, there’s a person
A fine person, that’s you!
You in the house, house on the street…
We all live…
