Third Time Off the Ground

[Verse]

Built a rocket out of cardboard and a two-liter top,

Told my dad I need his help, he said "let's not stop."

First launch Saturday morning, half the block came to see,

Fuse went crooked, engine sputtered, fizzled instantly.

Kids started laughing, I felt my stomach drop,

Dad said "get the notebook, let's see what we got."

Wrote it down, the angle's wrong, the fin's too thin,
