You and I in a little toy shop
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one they were gone
'Til one by one they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, 'Something's out there'
Flash the message, 'Something's out there'
Floating in the summer sky
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Focusing it on the sky
When ninety-nine red balloons go by
When ninety-nine red balloons go by
99 Decision Street
99 Decision Street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is what we've been waiting for
This is it, boys, this is war
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
The president is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero
Everyone's a super hero
Everyone's a 'Captain Kirk'
Everyone's a 'Captain Kirk'
With orders to identify
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
Scramble in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine dreams I have had
Ninety-nine dreams I have had
In every one, a red balloon
In every one, a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go
I think of you, and let it go
