There was a man lived in the moon, in the moon, in the moon.
There was a man lived in the moon and his name was Aiken Drum.
And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle.
And he played upon a ladle and his name was Aiken Drum.

And his hair was made of spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti.
His hair was made of spaghetti and his name was Aiken Drum.
And his eyes were made of meatballs, meatballs, meatballs.
His eyes were made of meatballs and his name was Aiken Drum.

And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle.
He played upon a ladle, and his name was Aiken Drum.

And his nose was made of cheese, cheese, cheese.
His nose was made of cheese and his name was Aiken Drum.
And his mouth was made of pizza, pizza, pizza.
His mouth was made of pizza and his name was Aiken Drum.

And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle.
He played upon a ladle, and his name was Aiken Drum!

There was a man lived in the moon, in the moon, in the moon.
There was a man lived in the moon and his name was Aiken Drum.

Su cabello era de espagueti, se llamaba Don Simón

Sus ojos eran de albóndiga, albóndiga, albóndiga
Sus ojos eran de albóndiga, se llamaba Don Simón

Sabía tocar el cucharón, el cucharón, el cucharón
