Up, Up and Away

Up, up and away
In ballon full of hot air
Hanging from a hair

Up, up and away
No steering and no braking
Bravery faking

Up, up and away
Under ballon swinging high
Storm clouds coming nigh

Up, up and away
Fearsome lightning bolts flash by
Need help from on High

Up, up  and away
Trying to hold breakfast in
Swaying in the wind

Up, up and away
Small box dangling in the wind
Need a Dramamine

Up, up and away
Pale and shaking in wet boots
Where’s a parachute

Up, up and away
First time is one time enough
This is scary stuff

Up, up and away                               
On the ground will always stay
Until dying day

Up, up and away
Forget it, here I will stay
You get underway

Up, up and away
No thanks, rather get my kicks
On Route Sixty-Six
