African Treehouse - Big Numbers

Big numbers are amazing they’re astounding they’re fun
From the deepest darkest ocean, to the distance from the sun
Impress your friends and neighbours with super number facts
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract

How far is the sun, from the earth
149.6 million kilometers
And how far is the moon from the earth
Around three hundred and eighty thousand kilometers

Big numbers are amazing they’re astounding they’re fun
From the deepest darkest ocean, to the distance from the sun
Impress your friends and neighbours with super number facts
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract

What’s the longest river in the world
The Nile and it is six thousand, six hundred and fifty kilometers long
What’s the highest mountain in Africa
Kilimanjaro and it’s five thousand eight hundred and ninety five meters tall

Big numbers are amazing they’re astounding they’re fun
From the deepest darkest ocean, to the distance from the sun
Impress your friends and neighbours with super number facts
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract

There are more than six and a half billion people on the earth
The cheetah is the fastest animal and runs at a speed of up to 115 kilometers p/h
The deepest point in the ocean is ten thousand, nine hundred and twenty four meters
The earth is over 4.5 billion years old
There are one million one hundred and fifteen thousand, two hundred and five km of railway lines in the world
My dad says my mom has more pairs of shoes in her cupboard
Than all the stars in the heavens put together (Ha ha ha)

Big numbers are amazing they’re astounding they’re fun
From the deepest darkest ocean, to the distance from the sun
Impress your friends and neighbours with super number facts
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract
From ordinary things, to the weird and abstract
From the totally mundane, to the weird and abstract
