Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun
  G7        C             G7       C 
A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience

Say rather that hes apolitical

Once the rockets are up who cares where they come down

Some have harsh words for this man of renown
    G7             C               G7        C
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude
         G7                     C          A7
Like the widows and cripples in old London town

Once youve learned to count backwards to zero
   G7                       C            A7
In German or English I know how to count down
       Dm           C        G7          C
And Im learning Chinese says Wernher von Braun
