about

Take a quick journey from the Big Bang through Mario and Luigi--with accordion, glockenspiel, kalimba, and an '80s Casio synth.

lyrics

Let’s go down to the Universe Store
Let’s go down to the Universe Store
Let’s go down to the Universe Store
And buy ourselves a universe

Let’s all build a galaxy
We’ll fill it up with cookies, scones, and oolong tea
We’ll have a lot of fun, it’ll be really neat
Let’s all build a galaxy

First we’ll need a supermassive black hole
Surround it with some stars and yummy cookie dough
Then we’ll add some planets, hey look how they go
Ring around the rosy

We’ll add a couple comets made of rock and ice
Send them round the sun, yeah, they’ll look real nice
Floating through the sky, maybe you’ll see them twice
Twice in a lifetime

A gas cloud here and an asteroid there
Then how bout a moon for wolves who turn to were
The sun is uber bright, so don’t you look and stare
Less you wanna go blind

We’re standin’ on a planet and we’ll call it earth
An atmosphere of oxygen to bind and girth
Mankind will perpetuate through childbirth
We’ll all get old and get a job

Everything is atoms, they’ve got nuclei
Protons and neutrons and electrons fly
Even Higgs bosons, they’re the tie that bind
All mass together

The periodic table is a real cool chart
Phosphorus and chromium and cows that fart
Methane can kill ya, yeah, but so can art
Just ask Ernest Hemingway

Mathematics, physics, and astronomy
Owe a lot to Mario and Luigi
Who the heck is Galileo Galilei
You can be a scientist

General and special relativity
Einstein was father of both theories
The cosmos, quantum, mirror, Hey, look! It’s me!
Singing about the universe

Let’s go down to the Universe Store
Let’s go down to the Universe Store
Let’s go down to the Universe Store
And buy ourselves a universe
