If there should ever come a day
when the heavens should file for bankruptcy
and the stars pack up and walk away,
know you no longer have reason to stay
and watch the waves abandon the sea.
If there should ever come a day
when gravity breaks down, losing it's way,
and molecular bonds begin to disagree,
let the stars pack up and walk away.
If mathematics come undone and run astray,
break the last abacus and then decree:
"If there should come a day and that day is today!"
If and when it comes leave Earth in disarray,
disassemble each and every tree,
tell the stars, "Pack up and walk away."
Call up all the physicists and say,
"Discontinue paying your A.P.S. fee"
if there should ever come a day
when the stars pack up and walk away.

If there should ever come a day
when the heavens should file for bankruptcy
and the stars pack up and walk away,
know you no longer have reason to stay
and watch the waves abandon the sea.
If there should ever come a day
when gravity breaks down, losing it's way,
and molecular bonds begin to disagree,
let the stars pack up and walk away.
If mathematics come undone and run astray,
break the last abacus and then decree:
"If there should come a day and that day is today!"
If and when it comes leave Earth in disarray,
disassemble each and every tree,
tell the stars, "Pack up and walk away."
Call up all the physicists and say,
"Discontinue paying your A.P.S. fee"
if there should ever come a day
when the stars pack up and walk away.
