Red Balloon

Got myself a red balloon, got a blue surprise
Hidden in the red balloon, pinning up my eyes
A love-light for my eyes, blue, blue surprise
We met as friends and you were so easy to get to know
Will we see one-another again?
Oh my, i hope so
Played with toys for children
As i child i got
Haven’t any time for children,
Although i’ve got a lot
Took a love-light from my eyes
Blue, blue surprise
Got myself a red balloon, got a blue surprise
Hidden in the red balloon, pinning up my eyes
Took a love-light from my eyes
Blue, blue surṗrise
