Celestial Navigation (Original)

Up in the Northern Hemisphere, in the middle of July
In the night time the stars appear, one-by-one across the sky
It's nearly twilight the sun is set, come and join us on the quarterdeck
And if you bust out your sextant, wait....nothing rhymes with sextant

We're on our way to Cali-for-ni-a, Ursa Major's on the port side
Alkaid, Alioth and Duhbe, form a ladle in the sky
And if you let your eyes drift along, little dipper helps me sing this song
And at the end of it's tail so bright, shines Polaris with all it's might

Continue on to Cassiopea, Schedar shimmers, oh, mama mia
Look up a little and Cygnus you'll find, Deneb's so bright it'll blow your mind
The wings of Cygnus point to Ve-ega, and to Altair on the right
These three stars form a triangle, in the summer night

Chorus
Twinkle twinkle little star, how we used to wonder where we are
When the skies are clear and the clouds are gone
Once the sun goes down we'll be havin a ball
With celestial navigation, celestial navigation

Sitting on the top yard, is the elusive red-footed booby
And if you don't look too far, directly astern is Zubenelgenubi
Libra points ahead and on, Virgo is the next constellation in this song
Spica's still on our stern, if you speed on down you'll feel the burn

Two points on quarter now, Antares shines the way to Scorpio
Shaula's in the tail below, so shoot it with your sextant JWO fo'sho
Steve's in the doghouse too, with his laser pointer to sho-ow you
How to find the stars, and help you navigate to the nearest bar

Chorus

Bridge
When you have the stars and some nautical science
With Professor Rich King and your sextant alliance
Just remember this song and you don't need to mess
He'll corroborate you don't need no GPS

Take your numbers to the doghouse to work it up
Don't forget your index error, that's wassup
Get your interval, your azimuth, your height calculated
Put it in your plottin sheet and stress is abated (stress is abated)

From Spica look up high, not too far away Arcturus is nigh
With Corona Borealis nearby, you'll find Alphecca not Chewbacca
Arc back up from Arcturus now, to get to Ursa Major
Use Alioth and it's guardian star, bring it on down until you find Leo

Regulus is in the front paw, now it's time for bed before I start to ya-awn
Robert C. Seamans, go, on our way to San Francisco

Chorus (x2)
