The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a fictional electronic guide book in the multimedia scifi/comedy series of the same name by Douglas Adams. The Guide serves as "the standard repository for all knowledge and wisdom" for many members of the series' galaxy-spanning civilization. Entries from the guidebook are used as comic narration to bridge events and provide background information in every version of the story. The guide is published by "Megadodo Publications", a publishing company on Ursa Minor Beta.
In the original radio scripts, the Guide's voice was called the "Narrator" and in the 2004–2005 series, "The Voice." For all of the radio series and the 1981 TV series, the role was credited as "The Book", though this was changed to "Narrator/The Guide" for the 2005 movie.
In the first two phases of the radio series, the LP album adaptations of the first radio series and in the television series, the Guide was voiced by British actor Peter Jones. During the 2004–2005 radio series, The Guide was voiced by William Franklyn. In the film version, it was voiced by Stephen Fry.
You pull up to the big brown
You pull up in your big white
Then you're climbing the stairs
No matter who you are
No matter what your beef, boy
You take the big green stacks
And you shove 'em in the white one
That's the way of the envelope
It's good work if you can get it
Beats pushing
You remember a time
You remember it well
It was a fine fine place to live
You pull up in your big brown car
You pull up in your big white brick
Then you're climbing the stairs to take you up to the 8th, or 9th or 10th
No matter who you are
No matter what your beef, boy
You take the big green stacks
And you shove 'em in the white one
That's the way of the envelope
It's good work if you can get it
Beats pushing
You remember a time
You remember it well
