The song features the titular character Yakko, joined by his siblings in the final chorus, singing about how the scales of the universe and saying how small we are compared to it.

Everybody lives on a street in a city or a village or a town for what it's worth. And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent that sits upon a planet known as Earth. And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains which is out there spinning silently in space. And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals and also the entire human race.

It's a great big universe and we're all really puny. We're just tiny little specks about the size of Mickey Rooney. It's big and black and inky. And we are small and dinky. It's a big universe and we're not.

And we're part of a vast interplanetary system stretching seven hundred billion miles long. With nine planets and a sun, we think the Earth's the only one that has life on it, although we could be wrong. Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids including meteors and Halley's Comet too. And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons in a panoramic trillion-mile view. And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars in a galaxy we call the Milky Way. It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other and still that's just a fraction of the way. 'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky, filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars. And still the universe extends to a place that never ends which is maybe just inside a little jar!

It's a great big universe and we're all really puny. We're just tiny little specks about the size of Mickey Rooney. Though we don't know how it got here, we're an important part here! It's a big universe and it's ours!

Žije každý z nás, jak má žít, na vesnici, na ulici, nebo z města může být. A my všichni dohromady žijem na kulatý Zemi co krouží nekonečným vesmírem. Naše Země je míč, plná moří a pohoří, kde je bytostí co si můžeš jen přát. A můžeš s nimi žít, a můžeš je i milovat, a štěstí všem těm lidem můžeš přát.

Letět velkým vesmírem a být jak kapka v moři, Jen rybka v modrém oceánu, jak na Slunci skvrny. Jako písek z duny, jsme jen nepatrní. Ale přesto celý vesmír patří nám.

My jsme jen malá část meziplanetární systém jeho devět planet možná chce tě zmást. Sedm set miliard mil někde začátek a cíl jedno Slunce, co se umí krásně smát. Narazíš na hvězdný roj, a možná potkáš asteroid a je tam taky Halleyova Kometa. Co má ocas jiskřivý přes padesát měsíců, kterým celý vesmír pěkně zametá. Je to jenom jedno místo mezi miliónem hvězd která krásná Mléčná Dráha může vést. A když letíš kolem ní, tak začne se ti zdát že je tou nejvážnější ze všech cest. A to je vesmír nekonečný, který věčný se ti zdá a rozkládá se všude kolem nás. Zkus jen tomu uvěřit že ho v sobě můžeš mít a že i kousek z něho je každý z nás.

Letět velkým vesmírem a být jak kapka v moři, Jen rybka v modrém oceánu, jak na Slunci skvrny. Ale kdo se zasmát umí jistě porozumí. Vesmír je kolem nás kvůli nám! Each of us lives as we should live, in the village, on the street, or from the city. And we all live together on a round Earth what orbits the infinite universe. Our Earth is a ball, full of seas and mountains where there is a creature you can just wish for. And you can live with them, and you can also love them, and you can wish good luck to the people.

To fly through the great universe and be like a drop in the sea, Just a fish in the blue ocean like spots on the sun. Like sand from a dune, we're just tiny. But still the whole universe belongs to us.

We are only a small part of the interplanetary system of its nine planets that may want to confuse you. Seven hundred billion miles somewhere beginning and end, one Sun that can laugh nicely. You'd encounter a star swarm, and you may encounter an asteroid and there's the Halley's Comet. What has a sparkling tail over fifty moons, which sweeps the whole universe nicely.

It's just one place among a million stars, Which the beautiful Milky Way can lead. And when you fly around it, it starts to seem to you that it's the most serious of all paths. And that's an infinite universe that may seem eternal to you and it spreads all around us. Just try to believe that you can have it in you, and that even a little of it is each of us.

To fly through the great universe, and be like a drop in the sea, Just a fish in the blue ocean like spots on the sun. But who can laugh surely will understand. The universe is around us for us!
