A rat done bit my sister Nell
(with Whitey on the Moon)
Her face and arms began to swell
(and Whitey's on the Moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill
(but Whitey's on the Moon)
Ten years from now I'll be paying still
(while Whitey's on the Moon)

I can't imagine why this came to mind...

(Yes I know one of the astronauts is black. And I know they're not going to be on the moon. But still.)

A good time to listen to this one now.

----------

I can't pay no doctor bills
But Whitey's on the moon
Ten years from now I'll be paying still
While Whitey's on the moon

You know, the man just upped my rent last night
Cause Whitey's on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But Whitey's on the moon

"Everybody got a pistol
Everybody got a .45
And the philosophy seem to be
At least as near as I can see
When the other folks give up theirs, I'll give up mine

This is a violent civilization
If civilization's where I am
Every channel that I stop on
Got a different kind of cop on
Killing them by the million for Uncle Sam"
