Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun
A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience
Call him a Nazi he wont even frown
Nazi schmazi says Wernher von Braun
Dont say that hes hypocritical
Say rather that hes apolitical
Once the rockets are up who cares where they come down
Thats not my department says Wernher von Braun
Some have harsh words for this man of renown
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun
You too may be a big hero
Once youve learned to count backwards to zero
In German or English I know how to count down
And Im learning Chinese says Wernher von Braun
