LUCKY NUMBER THREE
Lucky number three just the right size for the family
The perfect weight not too hot- the nitrogen and oxygen hit the spot
Exquisitely positioned between 4 and 2—Venus too hot—Mars too cool
Lucky number three –a clever blue planet for our galaxy
Liquid water on the top where would we be without it
Nowhere here nowhere not for long
Liquid water we have got-where would we go without it
Nowhere here, nowhere far
Lucky number three-photosynthesis for you and me
Let the good stuff in and the bad stuff out
Just the right sun just the right amount
And the big Earth Moon gives a big Moon grin
From the apogee to the perigee again and again
The delicate balance the grand design- Lucky number three always gets it right
Liquid water on the top where would we be without it
Nowhere here nowhere not for long
Liquid water we have got where would we go without it
Nowhere here- not too far
Lucky number three-the very best planet for the family
Not too far in or too far out-like Mercury or Neptune-just the right amount
And the old sun belches the solar wind pushing through the system again and again
And all we can say is hey la la-hey la la –hey la la
