Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Draun,
A man whose allegiance
is ruled by expedience,
Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown,
"Nazi, Shmazi," says Wernher von Braun

Don't say that he's hypocritical,
Say rather that he's apolitical

"Once the rockets are up, who cares vere dey come down?
That's not my department," says Wernher von Draun.

Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
But some think our attitude
Should be one of gratitude,
Like the widows and cripples in old London town
Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun.

You too may be a big hero.
Once you've learned to count backwards to zero.
"In German or der English I know how to count down,
Und I'm learning Chinese," says Wernher von Braun."

Wernher von Braun, by Tom Lehrer, played on WOCC (The Rock of OCCC) on the
day that he died by order of the news director, The Great and Powerful OZ.

By the by, was it supposed to be von Braun who said in "THE RIGHT STUFF"
"Our Germans are better then their Germans?"
