Balloon Alloon Alloon

I want a balloon-alloon-alloon

That I can tie a ribbon to

And my balloon-alloon-alloon can drift away

And I expect that very soon

That my balloon-alloon-alloon

Will be floating in the skies of Mandalay

Let’s go walking in the green, green grass

Let’s go down to the park

Swinging on the swings

Sliding on the slide

We won’t come home till dark

You can throw the ball at Peter

He can throw the ball to me

Then I’ll turn around and throw it back to you

Then, just to make it perfect as a perfect day can be

There is something that I want so much to do

I want a balloon-alloon-alloon

That I can tie a ribbon to

And my balloon-alloon-alloon can drift away

And I expect that very soon

That my balloon-alloon-alloon

Will be floating in the skies of Mandalay

Let’s have a party in the old tree-house

Let’s have toast and jam

Let’s all dress in our parent’s old clothes

Let’s have cheese and ham

We’ll pretend that we’re deserted in a jungle

Where the animals are comin’ very soon

And the only hope of rescue is to write an S.O.S.

And tie it to a balloon-alloon-alloon

I want a balloon-alloon-alloon

That I can tie a ribbon to

And my balloon-alloon-alloon can drift away

And I expect that very soon

That my balloon-alloon-alloon

Will be floating in the skies of Mandalay

And I expect that very soon

That my balloon-alloon-alloon

Will be floating in the skies of Mandala
