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 a 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
