Lyrics of Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) by They Might Be Giants
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
Yo ho, it′s hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives
We need it′s light
We need it's heat
We need it's energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There′d be no you and me
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot
It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others
The sun is large
If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside
And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star
The sun is far away
About 93 million miles away, and that′s why it looks so small
And even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day
The sun gives heat
The sun gives light
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun′s atomic energy
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine
The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon and helium
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
Writer(s): Hy Zaret, Louis C. Singer
