LYRICS:

The Earth spins round the Sun, right round

Not the other way round, way round, round.

 

I’m Copernicus, I’m the first one of us to say the Earth spins on an axis.

Now, convincing the world that their view’s absurd is much more harder in practice.

That our planet spins this way and also spins that way, my critics they call me eccentric.

But haters be hating while I’ll be creating my model that’s heliocentric.

 

The Earth spins round the Sun, right round

Not the other way round, way round, round.

Not in a circle Kepler found

Goes elliptically round, round, round, round.

 

Discovering Jupiter’s four moons refuted the formerly mooted Ptolemy.

Through my telescope, the Pope said, ‘Nope, what is this wild new astronomy?’

Tried to make me recant, I said that I shan’t because there was proof I attested

‘Cos that was my view but what could I do? It actually got me arrested.

 

The Earth spins round the Sun, right round

Not the other way round, way round, round

Not in a circle Kepler found

Goes elliptically round, round, round, round

 

Don’t panic, our world is mechanical, my laws of motion all work without flaws.

I made science seem much less trickier in my Principia with show of force.

Can’t help that it’s matter of fact that all matter attracts let’s break it down rationally

That the Sun pulls the Earth pulls the Moon pulls the sea, even me - yeah, that’s gravity.

 

The Earth spins round the Sun, right round

Not the other way round, way round, round.

 

Earth spins round the sun, around

Not the other way round, around

Gravity keeps us on the ground

Means the sun pulls the Earth around.
