Why Does The Sun Shine? Lyrics - Here Comes Science (amazon.com Exclusive) [cd/dvd] - They Might Be Giants

The sun is 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 its light 

We need its heat, we need its energy 

Without the sun 

Without a doubt there'd be no you and me 

The sun is 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 

The sun is so hot that everything on it is a gas 

Copper, iron, aluminum 

And the surface of the sun are all gas 

The sun is large 

If the sun is so large a million earths could fit inside 

And yet the sun's just a middle-sized star 

The sun is far away 

It's about ninety three million miles away 

And that's why it looks so small 

But even when its out of sight 

It shines both night and day 

The sun gives light, the sun gives heat 

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-crushing machine 

The heat and light of the sun 

Are caused by the nuclear reactions 

Between Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen and Helium 

The sun is mass of incandescent gas 

A gigantic nuclear furnace 

Where hydrogen is built into helium 

At a temperature of millions of degrees
