Krikkit song

The Krikkit Song was composed and performed by Philip Pope for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary Phase, Fit the Fifteenth, featured on An Informational Visit and Arthur Diverted, first broadcast on BBC Radio 4, 5 October 2004.

The song was written as part of the informational background for the people of Krikkit, to circuitously portray them as a peace-loving yet insular race of singer-songwriters, with no notion of any Universe beyond their world, given their singular solar system (the Krikkit system had but one planet, Krikkit) surrounded by a dust cloud - due to the dust cloud, the sky above Krikkit was either illuminated by a sun, or completely black). The song's lyrics provided clues to Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect that the people of Krikkit could never see any neighbouring planets or stars, and the odd effects that may have on them.

Lyrics

The lyrics to the ""Krikkit Song"" are:

Chorus 1 
Our lovely world's so lovely 
And everything’s so nice 
And everyone’s so happy 
Beneath the ink-black skies!

Verse 
She is the only one for me 
I’m under her spell I can’t resist 
We walked hand in hand above the grass 
Then in the dark we kissed 

Chorus 2 
Our lovely world's so lovely 
See how the flowers grow 
It's such a shame my dog died 
He loved those flowers so! 

Middle 8 
It's so much fun working on the farm 
It fills my heart and soul with pride 
My wife and kids waiting safe from harm 
Makes me feel so warm inside 

Chorus 
Our lovely world's so lovely 
And everything’s so nice 
And everyone’s so happy 
Beneath the ink-black skies!
