lyrics

Big Numbers
Graeme Sacks & Erika Strydom

Chorus
Big numbers are amazing they’re astounding they’re fun.
From the deepest darkest ocean, to the distance from the sun.
Impress your friends and neighbours with super number facts
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract.

Verse
How far is the sun, from the earth?
149.6 million kilometers
How far is the moon from the earth?
Around Three hundred and eighty thousand kilometers

Chorus
Big numbers are amazing they’re astounding they’re fun.
From the deepest darkest ocean, to the distance from the sun.
Impress your friends and neighbours with super number facts
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract.

INSTRUMENTAL

Verse
What’s the longest river in the world?
The Nile and it is Six thousand, six hundred and fifty kilometers long.
What’s the highest mountain in Africa?
Kilimanjaro and it’s five thousand eight hundred and ninety five meters tall.

Chorus
Big numbers are amazing they’re astounding they’re fun.
From the deepest darkest ocean, to the distance from the sun.
Impress your friends and neighbours with super number facts
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract.

Interlude
There are more than 6 ½ Billion people on the earth
The cheetah is the fastest animal and runs at a speed of up to 115 kilometers p/h
The deepest point in the ocean is ten thousand, nine hundred and twenty four meters.
The earth is over 4.5 billion years old
There are one million one hundred and fifteen thousand, two hundred and five km of railway lines in the
world
My dad says my mom has more pairs of shoes in her cupboard than all the stars in the heavens put
together. ha ha ha!

Chorus
Big numbers are amazing they’re astounding they’re fun.
From the deepest darkest ocean, to the distance from the sun.
Impress your friends and neighbours with super number facts
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract.
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract.
From the totally mundane, to the weird and abstract.
