English lyrics

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



Til one by one, they were gone



Back at base bugs in the software



Flash the message, something's out there



Floating in the summer sky



99 red balloons go by



99 red balloons



Floating in the summer sky



Panic bells it's red alert



There's something here from somewhere else



The war machine springs to life



Opens up one eager eye



Focusing it on the sky Where 99 red balloons go by



99 Decision street



99 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 99 red balloons go by



99 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



Scramble in the summer sky



99 red balloons go by



99 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 I could find a souvenir



Just to prove the world was here



And here is a red balloon



I think of you, and let it go
