The Last Red Balloon

Dad can I have that big red balloon? There's only one left, and he'll sell it soon It's not like a goldfish, it won't have to be fed or that pink candy floss, which sticks to my head Dad can I have that big red balloon? I won't ask for anything else 'till next June Not even a ride on the ghost train today A balloon would be better in every way Dad can I have that big red balloon? Don't want to fly in a ship to the moon Dodging green men as we whizz on the way I'd probably be sick for the rest of the day Dad can I have that big red balloon? Yes my boy, I'll buy you that balloon I'm not a mean man I just wanted to know that you really want it, come on let's go Son here you go, a big red balloon your hearts great desire fulfilled before noon We've gone to the fair, we'll have such fun With you and your balloon out in the sun Dad, can I have some pink candy floss?
