Red Balloon Lyrics

Well, did you hear about the story of the red balloon?
Little Johnny, he was called to be the captain of the crew
He went aboard his ship and said, "We′re gonna leave here soon
Little Johnny's selling tickets to the moon
So hurry if you want to come along with me today"
He says and then the band begins to play

And this, my friend, is a wonderland, so hold my hand
And we′re singing with the band, band, band
For all we need is a breeze in the air
Rushing off the mountains, watching the surroundings
The captain gives the orders and we all obey

And this, my friend, is a wonderland, so hold my hand
And we're singing with the band, band, band
For all we need is a breeze in the air
Rushing off the mountains, watching the surroundings
The captain gives the orders and we all obey

One day, when Johnny tried to get it down, that red balloon
He found out he never learned that trick, the others did him too
And so they moved up higher and they realized it soon
They were really going to be there on the moon
The people down below, they shouted and they were afraid
But still, there was the band for them to play

"Watch out! Watch out! They're going up! They′re going up!"

And this, my friend, is a wonderland, so hold my hand
And we′re singing with the band, band, band
For all we need is a breeze in the air
Rushing off the mountains, watching the surroundings
The captain gives the orders and we all obey

And this, my friend, is a wonderland, so hold my hand
And we're singing with the band, band, band
For all we need is a breeze in the air
Rushing off the mountains, watching the surroundings
The captain gives the orders and we all obey

Well here, my friends, my story ends, the story of the year
But we′re living in a crazy world
So close your eyes and dream again
