The two men walked on the moon for hours They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study They dug up dirt to bring back They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft
Next day the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon They joined Michael Gollms in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon Then they were off on their long trip back to earth Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon They left the machines they had set up And they left footprints that may last forever
