My data is from my 1958 Britannica II. Additional verses and updates cheerfully accepted.
This is a Sirius Song.
Dog Star shining up there on high.
Yes, it's a Sirius Song.
Dog Star's the brightest star in our sky.
CHORUS: Ay Oh! Ay Oh!
That's its star class, scientists say.
Yes,... it's A0.
And I'm saying that it's A-OK.
It's 2-point-7 parsecs out.
Dog Star shining up there on high.
Not very far by astronomer count.
Dog Star's the brightest star in our sky.
CHORUS
It's one-third hotter than the sun.
Dog Star shining up there on high.
Rises in north when the heat's begun.
Dog Star's the brightest star in our sky.
CHORUS
It's not lonely, I'll guarantee.
Dog Star shining up there on high.
Got a white dwarf companion, name of B.
Dog Star's the brightest star in our sky.
CHORUS
This is a Sirius Song....
Dog-star shining up there on high.
Yes, it's a Sirius Song....
Dog-star's the brightest star in our sky.
Ay Oh! Ay Oh!
That's its star class, scientists say.
Yes,... it's A0.
And I'm saying that it's A-OK.
