She walks around / with a pink balloon / and if you try to take it from her / your end will come too soon

She dreams about / her pink balloon / carrying her higher and higher / up to the moon

She ties it to her waist / she ties it to her wrist / and if you’re lucky she might let it go for you / and make a wish

First thing she wakes up / pours herself a cup / before she’s out the door / she stops to blow it up / sometimes she carries it high / sometimes she carries it low / people point at her / and say there she goes

She don’t worry about danger / she don’t worry about doom / and she don’t give a damn what you think / about her pink balloon

She walks around / with a pink balloon / and if you try to take it from her / your end will come too soon

Pink balloon / she walks around / with a pink balloon
