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