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?
