Bilingual
Four, three, two, one, ignition!
Into the black of outer space
Go four of the chosen few
The systems check out A-OK
We're going to the moon
Moonshot countdown, Earth shine on
Blaze your light our way
Tell the world the universe
Belongs to us today
On through the pull of fifty G's
And up through the atmosphere
Suddenly a blip hits the radar screen
And another ship flies near
The astronauts try the radio
But the mystery ship flies on
So the captain hits the retro boost
And the race to the moon is on
Ten, nine, eight and counting down
Our boys are on their way
Tell the world the universe
Belongs to us today
The mystery ship is gaining fast
'Cause there's only one man aboard
As the race is passed, on the radio
Can be heard a discouraging word (Goodbye, my friend!)
Our faithful friend knows all is lost
If the Baron keeps his pace
So he volunteers for a decoy flight
So his friends can win the race
(Releasing emergency space vehicle)
The decoy ship heads back to Earth
And the Baron turns around
The race to the moon's forgotten
'Til he shoots our hero down
But as the smallest astronaut
Lands safely on the ground
Two hundred thousand miles away
Apollo touches down
Ten, nine, eight and counting down
Our boys are on their way
Aldrin, Armstrong, Collins, Stafford, Young, Cernan, McDivitt
Scott, Schweickart, Borman, Lovell, Anders, Shirra, Cunningham
Eisele, Grissom, White, Chaffee, Cooper, Carpenter, Glenn, Shepard...
