Big yellow ball, that's what you are One million kilometers wide A hundred million kilometers round. Big yellow ball burning in space Day turns to night, heat turns to cold. The earth takes a year just to travel round the sun And it's a mighty long way to go Round and around and around and around And around the sun we go People in the north of the Earth have the summer When the people in the south are cold People in the east of the Earth have their night When the people in the west have day. Spring turns to summer turns to autumn turns to winter How I love to watch the seasons change Showers in the winter then the flowers in the spring And then the heat on the dusty plain.
