Lyrics:

Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way)
What discoveries can we make today (make today)
A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars)
Just don't confuse it with the candy bar (candy bar)

The Milky Way is a galaxy
Stars, dust and gas bound together by gravity
And it spins like a pinwheel
The Orion Arm is where our solar system chills
And it's rotating pretty fast
10,000 miles an hour (But what about solar mass?)
It's the size of 100 billion suns
And it's made of several swirling arms
The Milky Way sounds kinda dreamy
But it's a mass of space stuff not sweet and creamy
Like the candy bar with the caramel and the nougat
It's a barred spiral galaxy with stars running through it
By the billions, nobody knows just how many
Suffice it to say, there are stars aplenty
And it's 100,000 light years wide
That's trillions of miles from side to side

Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way)
What discoveries can we make today (make today)
A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars)
Just don't confuse it with the candy bar (candy bar)

Announcer Guy:
Astronomers used to think that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe,
But after 1920 it was discovered that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies!

The center of the Milky Way is a riddle
There's a really strong radio source in the middle
Sagittarius A* is what it's called
It's a supermassive black hole
It's very dense because of its gravitation
And it gives off electromagnetic radiation
But don't worry, Planet Earth is safe
Because we're 26,000 light-years away!

Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way)
What discoveries can we make today (make today)
A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars)
Our song is done, so let's eat that candy bar (candy bar)
