ten spacemen wrote ten spacemen
orbitin’ with the Fisher Space Pen
ten spacemen scribbled ten spacemen
writin’ blue Zen on the moon, friend
space race writin’ stick
so slick in my pocket
it glides and it glows
like a silver rocket
Houston, we have a problem
the Bic’s won’t work up here
the fountain pens don’t either
we can’t write a word, I fear
so NASA makes a pen
to write with upside down
and in the zero gravity
flight motion all around
ten spacemen wrote ten spacemen
orbitin’ with the Fisher Space Pen
ten spacemen scribbled ten spacemen
writin’ blue Zen on the moon, friend
can I get your autograph
on a piece of lunar debris?
that space pen will write in space
the book says so, you see
pressurized capsule ink
drawin’ doodles on a sprocket
it glides and it glows
like a silver rocket
this space race writin’ stick
so slick in my orange pocket
have keyboards all replaced ’em?
I hope not
I wanna go write blue Zen
in a silver rocket
