Thank you for sharing this. My dad has this record and I used to listen to it all the time when I was a kid. This one and Campus Comedy.

Thank you. I bought the album so many decades ago that I forgot that I had it. Now that I also have internet access to it I don't have to worry about the album wearing out. You did a real public service to us old timers.

I was 12 when I first heard this album, about 5 X

John Glenn, he said to the captain,
"Now an astronaut ain't nothing but a man.
And before I let them Russians beat me down, (hh-)
gonna fly with a capsule in my hand, Lord, Lord. (Lord, Lord)
gonna fly with a capsule in my hand."
(John Glenn, he, John Glenn, he)
John Glenn, he went to Canaveral, (John Glenn, he)
And they started that big count down. (big count
down) They counted "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4"
3, 2, 1, zero, BLAST OFF!" (Lord, Lord)
"3, 2, 1, zero, BLAST OFF!" (Blast off, blast off, blast off)
Then they lit that big firecracker, (firecracker)
And they shot him into outer space. (...)
Johnny felt all alone, so he picked up the phone
And said "I know that this must be the place, Lord, Lord" (Lord, Lord)
"I know that this must be the place"
(I know that this must be
the place)
Now the Captain called "Hey, Johnny!" (Hey, Johnny)
"Tell us, what have you got to say?" (I told
you) Johnny said "I wouldn't dare,
cuz I know we're on the air,
so I'll say that everything is Ay OK. Lord, Lord." (Lord, Lord)
"I'll say that everything is Ay OK" (OK, OK, OK)
Will I really get home as Johnny? (John Glenn, he, John Glenn, he)
Or are cats just putting me on? (John Glenn, he, John Glenn, he)
Said the Captain, "Sit tight, you'll be home by tonight. (OoOooOooOooo)
Or my name ain't Wernher von Braun. Lord, Lord." (Lord, Lord)
Or my name ain't Wernher von Braun." (Wernher-von-Braun!)
...who's Voodoo Rothman?...
So they landed him in the O-shUN! (but the wa-ter)
And the Captain said "A perfect hit!"
But ol' Johnny replied "That's the first time I tried,
and I didn't like it one BIT! Lord, Lord. (Lord, Lord)
No, I didn't like it one bit." (John Glenn, he, John Glenn, he)
Now the Captain said to Johnny. (Hey Johnny!)
"Ohh, e'rything went real well." (eve-rything went Ay-OK)
Said ol' Johnny Glenn "Now that I am home again,
you can all go straight to-
the MOON! Lord, Lord.
And it looks like you'll be going soon!" (Lord, Lord)
John Glenn, he was a rocket driving maaaaaaaaan. (He was a man)
