To seek the question-ultimate
Of universe and Life
To find the answer's forty-two,
and the world was made - by mice...

Hitched a ride on a ship of
probabilities
The Earth is history
From the little book, I took a clue: (Don't Panic)
I met a robot, so depressed
Planet sized - his brain
Marvin was his name
Searching for the lost - forty-two
--- Forty-Two ---
Trying just to save his home
Decreed to be torn down
To build a super-highway there
Arthur Dent's last stand
To seek the question-ultimate
Of universe and Life
To find the answer's forty-two,
and the world was made - by mice

A thousand years have come and gone
But Marvin's parking cars
The ship we take - not ours
Frozen in some predetermined flight
Looking for the override
Our end has just begun -
Dive into the sun
It's really not that hard - forty-two
--- Forty-Two ---
Trying just to save his home
Decreed to be torn down
To build a super-highway there
Arthur Dent's last stand
To seek the question-ultimate
Of universe and Life
To find the answer's forty-two,
To know the question would be nice!
