I Went To the Moon

Last year I took a very long trip.
I went to the moon in my spaceship.
After arriving, I went exploring and I found the American flag.
But something almost happened that would've been a drag.

I met some aliens that had moved there.
When I learned of their plans, I was scared.
They had decided to destroy our place of birth.
They were going to use their weapons to destroy the Earth.

But what those aliens didn't know was that I had weapons too.
I zapped them with my laser gun and they melted into goo.
When I told people that I saved the world, they said that I lied.
But I saved you and everybody else and that can't be denied.
