You and I in a little toy shop
 Buy a bag of balloons with the money we´ve got
 Set them free at the break of dawn
 till one by one they were gone
 Back at base, sparks in the software
 Flash the message â??somethings out thereâ??
 Floating in the summer sky
 Ninety nine red balloons go by

 Ninety nine red balloons
 Floating in the summer sky
 Panic bells, its red alert
 There´s something here from somewhere else
 The war machine springs to life
 Opens up one eager eye
 And focusing it on the sky
 The ninety nine red balloons go by

 Ninety nine decisions treat
 Ninety nine ministers meet
 To worry, worry, super scurry
 Call the troops out in a hurry
 This is what we've waited for
 This is it boys, this is war
 The President is on the line
 As ninety nine red balloons go by

 Ninety nine knights of the air
 Ride super high-tech jet fighters
 Everyone's a super hero
 Everyone's a Captain Kirk
 With orders to identify
 To clarify and classify
 Scrambling the summer sky
 Ninety nine red balloons go by

 As ninety nine red balloons go by

 Ninety nine dreams I have had
 In every one a red balloon
 It´s all over and I'm standing pretty
 In this dust that was a city
 If could find a souvenir
 Just the prove the world was here
 And here is a red balloon
 I think of you and let it go
