They told me there was a man who lived on the moon
And that it was made of cheese
They also convinced that soon
We could come and go there as we please

And so we joined the countdown for take-off
Watched the orbit and the landing
Marvelling all the while
At a feat so outstanding

Unto the Sea of Tranquility
Have stepped 12 men good and true
Not forgetting those on the spaceship
All vastly essential crew

And so we could form a squad
From those who exited the space-station
All suited and booted, in away kit shod
Lining out in formation

As the first to step out onto Lunar Park (sponsor tbc)
Neil Armstrong would have to be captain of the team
His sound-bites still so iconic
They adorn many a memorable meme

Lineout:
Neil Armstrong
Buzz Aldrin
Charles “Pete” Conrad
Alan Bean
Alan Shephard
Edgar Mitchell
David Scott
James Irwin
John Young
Charles Duke
Eugene Cernan
Harrison Schmitt

12 proud men standing tall
But pray do tell, who was the nit
Who forgot to bring the ball ?!?!?!
