Even Stevens - We Went To The Moon In 1969 lyrics

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
