toy balloon

fred neil

this is a song about a kid

the sun's a ten cent toy balloon

hanginig in the sky

watchin' all the people down below

goin' by

the moon's a ten cent lollipop

hey

make a stop

i'm gettin' dizzy

i'm gettin' dizzy

his mother and father answered

we're too busy

we're too busy

well

now the kids goes up to his room

sits by his window

and he starts to think

someday i'll be a man

maybe fifty three

then everybody will listen to me

even my mommy and my daddy will listen

to me when i'm fifty three

but i wonder

will the sun watch

all the people goin' by

will the moon still hang in the sky

when i die

when i die
