Why do I tab songs like this? Because I can... The 80s were ace!!!
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky, 99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life; opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky where 99 red balloons go by

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry; call the troops out in a hurry
"This is what we've waited for, this is it boys, this is war"
The president is on the line as 99 red balloons go by
[Instrumental Interlude]
99 Knights of the air ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Silverhero, everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify, to clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky as 99 red balloons go by
As 99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I have had, in every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty, in this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go
