The ancient storytellers relate the tale of how men once slipped the earthly bonds and strode upon a distant moon. Some say its myth, some call it legend but those old enough, with memory strong enough swear it is true. Reply to this comment
Don’t know much geography Don’t know much trigonometry Don’t know much about algebra Don’t know what a slide rule is for But I know that one and one is two And if this one could be with you What a wonderful this would be I don’t claim to be an ‘A’ student But I’m trying to be Maybe my being an ‘A’ student baby I can win your love for me Reply to this comment

I have a slide rule; I know how to do square roots on it.
Don’t know much geography
Don’t know much trigonometry
Don’t know much about algebra
Don’t know what a slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful this would be
I don’t claim to be an ‘A’ student
But I’m trying to be
Maybe my being an ‘A’ student baby
I can win your love for me
