Tom Paxton - Balloon-Alloon-Alloon Lyrics






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
