We Went To The Moon In 1969

We went to the moon in 1969
Um, not 1968, but a year later
We went to the moon in 1969
That's when the astronauts first walked inside the crater

We went to the moon in 1969
Not 1970 but a year sooner
We went to the moon in 1969
That's when thet made a landing that was lunar
We didn't go up to the sun or stars
We didn't go to Mercury or Mars

But we went to the moon in 1969
Not 1968 but the year after
And once they got there the astronauts felt fine
They smiled at each other and there was laughter
We went to the moon in 1969
Not 1970, a year before, uh-huh
The rocket that flew had a really neat design
When it took off it the engines made a roar

We went to the moon in 1969
The trip wasn't all that easy
And when we got there we were surprised to find
That it was solid and it wasn't cheesy
We went up to the M-double-O-N
We went up to the moon sing it again
We went to the moon in 1969
Not 1970 but a year sooner
We went to the moon in 1969
That's when they made a landing that was lunar
