Hey, Von Braun, you've got a lovely rocket.
Looks like it will climb into the sky.
But it's sad, it won't be lifting off,
For I'm afraid that it's a danger to my field.

Hey, Von Braun, you've got a lovely rocket.
Look at all those tubes of gasoline.
Just one match, and a strong gust of wind
And your machine will be burning up all my fields.

That small engine
Carries quite a load,
But, if it burns, then
I'm afraid it'll explode.

Hey, Von Braun, you've got a lovely rocket. (lovely rocket)
It's too bad that I will tear it down. (tear it down)
But I must, it's only for the best,
I've got to save my house and protect all my fields.

Hey, Von Braun, you had a lovely rocket. (lovely rocket)
