Spining Earth

Somewhere in the white world, Where the frost is always near, Bears rub their backs together On the Earth’s spinning sphere. Centuries drift gently by, Oceans sleep beneath the ice, Bears rub along the axis, And the Earth keeps rolling twice. La-la-la-la-la-la-lay, Faster spins the Earth today. La-la-la-la-la-la-lay, Faster spins the Earth today. They spin it, trying hard, Turn the Earth’s axis round, So that lovers might find each other Earlier than they’re found. So that one fine morning soon, A year or two ahead of time, Someone says to someone else The most important line. La-la-la-la-la-la-lay, Faster spins the Earth today. La-la-la-la-la-la-lay, Faster spins the Earth today.
