It Is Balloon
Boss! Boss! It is balloon!
It is the enemy of the state!
Shoot it down! Ask questions later.
Leave no evidence for the makers.
China says it’s a weather device
A friend. It would never hurt a fly
Or tell a lie or spy or make you cry
If you kill it, it will die
Use nuclear missiles, tomahawks and mistletoe!
Balloons are sensitive to explosions
They love mysteries and can’t keep secrets
If you burst it, it will know.
For goodness sake don’t let it go!
Capture it! Torture it with turtles!
If it doesn't talk feed it to the media
The white object in the sky is dangerous
Take it to the opera
The orchestra will make it sing
It is balloon! It is balloon!
Don’t land on me or hurt my baby!
Or fall on a cow in Montana
Or in the ocean by South Carolina
Don’t wanna hurt no dolphins do ya?
