She was the first girl on the moon
She didn't compromise
When she took off that cold afternoon
Heading for the northern skies

I told her I could come
That I could come along

She was the first girl on the moon
I think I was her only fiend
She brought her ray-gun an old harpoon
Just in case of accidents

I told her I could come
That I could come along
She didn't let me come along
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye

She was the first girl on the moon
Standing tall, flag in hand
She looked around humming a tune
The strangest song known to man

I told her I could come
That I could come along
She never let me come along
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
