lyrics

dear citizens i ask of you
come touch the sky with us
we are standing tall we fight to win
we're fortified with vitamins
physically strong and morally
HEY we got that covered, honey
we'll represent the president
standing in the firmament

how does it feel to be first
how does it feel to be the

last american heroes on earth
on the day we met her
the last real bonafide virgin we ever knew
in a cloud of lunar dust
we are terre de lune or bust
come ride with us we're going to the moon

the sky's no longer the limit
the stars are in our hands
we got a good thing here
our motivation crystal clear
we'll teach our children to look up
and dream of distant worlds and the
little green souls we'll save
with ovaltine and burma shave

how does it feel to be first
how does it feel to be the
last american heroes on earth
on the day we met her
the last real bonafide virgin we ever knew
in a cloud of rocket smoke
what the hell let's go for broke
come ride with us we're going to the moon.

how does it feel to be first
you always remember your first
how does it feel to be first
and do you remember me

and the last american heroes on earth
left their homes to witness
the last real bonafide virgin birth in the world
oh she heard that you were fast
and she knew it wouldn't last
now the summer's gone the past is coming soon
now and then she thinks of you
but you're not the boy she knew
when you fell in love with going to the moon.
