This song explores the life and works of ex-SS rocket scientist Werner Von Braun and his repatriation to the US after the war, or, as Werner would say, "Es ist besser, hier zu sein in United States of America, als in dem verdammten Russland mit der Moskauer Kälte und die Scheiße Essen ich kann Ihnen sagen."
lyrics
Werner Von Braun
He’s a rocket man
Werner Von Braun
If you want to get to the moon
He’s the man you need
He made the V2s fly to London
He’s the rocket science geek
Bit of a Nazi so to speak
His excuses were rather weak
But as the race begins quite soon
Forget that and go for the moon
