Lyrics:
There’s an old gypsy moth Made of glue and cloth That lands in a horse-filled field An unusual event For those palomino gents Who just stare at their future revealed Why oh why-oh Did he fly out of Ohio? Before we knew that genes held the code But taking to wing is a haunting taunting thing Just like that rocket grandpa rode Yeah it was a rocket that grandpa rode Sounds like bragging but it’s true I’m not tryin’ to bedtime you Shot up into space And he said ‘look out down below’ Gotta love that rocket that grandpa rode And the kids turned to flying machines With their arms opened wide like wings But one solitary boy Knows a plane is not a toy I’m talkin’ ‘bout the man on the moon I still remember July ‘69 We all got to stay home from school In stark black-and-white We followed the flight and the whole world was in that capsule Oh on the rocket that grandpa rode Sounds like bragging but it’s true I’m not tryin to bedtime you Oh what a flight you better look out down below Yeah, that’s the rocket that grandpa rode Space men and women on this bus An old beast driver I don’t trust We’re going to watch the shuttle fly away—last day And for some kids behind my seat There’s a very special treat More than just history on parade Giant nozzles, bolts and beams They called her Atlas by all means Blood, sweat, and tears were her payload She was a stairway to heaven Old Apollo Eleven The rocket ship their grandpa drove Yeah, on the rocket that grandpa rode Sounds like bragging but it’s true I’m not tryin’ to bedtime you Rising up from that lagoon We beat those Commies to the moon Yeah, on the rocket their grandpa rode Yeah, on the rocket their grandpa drove Thank you, Neil Thank you, nasa (Yeah, it was a rocket) Thank you, Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock (Yeah, it was a rocket) Scottie, Lieutenant Uhura, Mr. Chekov (Yeah, it was a rocket) Yeah, the rocket their grandpa rode (Yeah, that’s the rocket) (Yeah, it was a rocket) (Yeah, that’s the rocket) (Yeah, that’s the rocket)
