Spining Earth

Somewhere in the wide 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 la la, faster spins the Earth today.
La la la la la la la la, faster spins the Earth today.
They spin their trying heart, turn the Earth's axis 'round,
So their lovers might find each other earlier than their fright.
So that one fine morning sun, a year or two ahead of time,
Someone says to someone else,
"The most important lie"— La la la la la la la la la,
Faster spins the Earth today.
La la la la la la la la, faster spins the Earth today.
La la la la la la la la, faster spins the Earth today.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, faster spins the Earth today.
