Have you some time for me
Then I'll sing a song for you
About 99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
If you're perhaps thinking about me right now
Then I'll sing a song for you
About 99 balloons
And that such a thing comes from such a thing

99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
People think they're UFO's from space
So a general sent up
A fighter squadron after them
Sound the alarm if it's so
But there on the horizon were
Only 99 balloons

99 fighter jets
Each one's a great warrior
Thought they were Captain Kirk
Then came a lot of fireworks
The neighbors didn't understand anything
And felt like they were being provoked
So they shot at the horizon
At 99 balloons
