Request to Remove Song Lyrics, and Declaration of Interest

edit

The revision of 4 May 2015 added four of the six verses of "Home on Lagrange" to this article. These lyrics are copyrighted. Permission was not granted by the authors of the song.

I request that the song lyrics be removed. Please consider volunteering to perform this edit.

Declaration of interest: I am a co-author of the lyrics to "Home on Lagrange." The song is copyright 1977 by William S. Higgins and Barry D. Gehm in the United States. The authors have no objection if the article links to sites with authorized copies of the song, such as the James Oberg site linked in the current version.
