They Might Be Giants
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
2
A gigantic nuclear furnace
3
Where hydrogen is built into helium
4
At a temperature of millions of degrees
5
Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not
6
A place where we could live
7
But here on Earth there'd be no life
8
Without the light it gives
9
We need its light
10
We need its heat
11
We need its energy
12
Without the sun, without a doubt
13
There'd be no you and me
14
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
15
A gigantic nuclear furnace
16
Where hydrogen is built into helium
17
At a temperature of millions of degrees
18
The sun is hot
19
It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.
20
The sun is large
21
If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.
22
The sun is far away
23
About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.
24
And even when it's out of sight
25
The sun shines night and day
26
The sun gives heat
27
The sun gives light
28
The sunlight that we see
29
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
30
Atomic energy
31
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, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.*
32
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
33
A gigantic nuclear furnace

*Live versions of this song are improvised extensively. Some variants on this section:
38
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and helium.
39
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light from the sun come from the nuclear reaction between oxygen, hydrogen, helium, and hydrogen.
40
You know, Frank, scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light from the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen and you, Frank O'Toole.
41
