Lyrics
(from The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Musical)
When I'm all finished working it out
millions of years from now
will there still be any electricity
so I can print the question I see?
While I am busy doing those sums,
will you have things to do?
What can the answer possibly mean
when it's forty-two?
Will I know exactly, in every detail
how I'm supposed to be?
Will there be instructions to explain my life,
mapped and laid out when I arrive?
Will there be answers, can I fill in a form
that tells me what to do?
Will I still be so hopelessly ditzy
when I'm forty-two?
