Bought myself a red balloon

Got a blue surprise

Hidden in the red balloon

The pinnin' of my eyes

Took a love light from my eyes

Blue, blue surprise.

We met as friends

You were so easy to get to know

Will we see one other again …

Oh, my … I hope so.

Bought myself a red balloon

Got a blue surprise

Hidden in the red balloon

The pinnin' of my eyes.

Playin’ ‘round with children’s toys

As a child I got

Haven't time for children’s toys

Though I have a lot.

Bought myself a red balloon

Got a blue surprise

Hidden in the red balloon

The pinnin' of my eyes.

Lyrics provided by Michael Cembalest
