about

Inspired by the anniversary of the 1969 Apollo landing on the moon.

lyrics

If Neil Armstrong were my uncle
I'd probably have a lot of stories to tell
I'd have pictures in my room
Of him walking on the moon
And a bucket full of lunar rocks to sell

With the money that I made
I'd build a rocket
Bigger than the famous Saturn V
It'd take me and my friends
To Mars and back again
And somehow I know we'd all survive

My imaginary uncle
He landed on the moon
And while Buzz was dancing round him
He was contemplating life
Thinking of his wife
And I was only ten
But I’d go right back again
If Neil Armstrong were my uncle

Collins got the raw end of the deal
But like man and hero, took the wheel
And while my imaginary uncle
Was stealing the show
Collins made sure they all got home

My imaginary uncle
He landed on the moon
And while Buzz was dancing round him
He was contemplating life
Thinking of his wife
And I was only ten
But I’d go right back again
If Neil Armstrong were my uncle
