Crux /ˈkrʌks/ is a constellation located in the southern sky in a bright portion of the Milky Way, and is the smallest but one of the most distinctive of the 88 modern constellations. Its name is Latin for cross, and it is dominated by a cross-shaped or kite-like asterism that is commonly known as the Southern Cross.
Predominating the asterism is the most southerly first-magnitude star and brightest star in the constellation, the blue-white Alpha Crucis or Acrux, followed by four other stars, descending in clockwise order by magnitude: Beta, Gamma (one of the closest red giants to Earth), Delta and Epsilon Crucis. Many of these brighter stars are members of the Scorpius–Centaurus Association, a large but loose group of hot blue-white stars that appear to share common origins and motion across the southern Milky Way. The constellation contains four Cepheid variables that are visible to the naked eye under optimum conditions. Crux also contains the bright and colourful open cluster known Jewel Box (NGC 4755) and, to the southwest, partly includes the extensive dark nebula, known as the Coalsack Nebula.
Well, I came home late one night
And much to my surprise
I was thrown
right across the kitchen floor
She hit me right between the eyes.
Now I'm living
in the doghouse, doghouse
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
I was out with a friend of mine
We were feeling mighty fine
And we sure was movin' fast
And I didn't make it back on time
And she put me
in the doghouse, doghouse
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
I had a big tall red
with one of my friends
He was feeling mighty fine
When I came home late that night
She hit me right between the eyes
And she put me
in the doghouse, doghouse
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
She put me in the doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse,
I'm living in the doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
So if you find yourself
in a party mood
Let your conscience be your guide
Don't be like me and let Lefty win
Or you'll find yourself outside
Living in the doghouse, doghouse
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
