Old Moc the Mechanic, I remember him well
He once built a rocket, or so they will tell
From and old winding engine that he found on the dole
It was built in the Rhondda and powered by coal.
Sing Falderal Dalderal Day
Old Moc the Mechanic, I remember him well
He once built a rocket, or so they will tell
From and old winding engine he found on the dole
It was built in the Rhondda and powered by coal.
And when it was finished, he painted it red,
and he called it (pause) Bethania.. or so it is said.
And they took up a mountain on a night late in June
To get that bit closer, said Morgan the Moon.
Sleepy Treorchy was bathed in white light
when the shuddering hulk, took off in the night.
A deafening scream and then a great roar as up passed the houses old Morgan did go!
His heatshield was glowing
like anthracite coal!
And we prayed down in Cardiff, in mission control.
And the barrow wheels dropped
As was previously planned and old Morgan prepared for Bethania to land.
He landed like linen on a crusty old crater,
Dai said hed get there lunar or later!
So off Morgan went in the moon swirling dust
To collect some rock samples from a craters hard crust.
A strange piece of rock soon old Morgan found,
It was lying there shining on the dust covered ground
He picked it up closely and he let out a call
Cause written right through it in Welsh was Porthcawl!
