Toy Balloon

(album: Tear Down The Walls - 1965)

This is a song about a kid

The sun's a ten cent toy balloon
Hanginig in the sky
Watching all the people down below
Going by

The moon's a ten cent lollipop
Hey, make a stop
I'm getting dizzy
I'm getting 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 going by
Will the moon still hang in the sky
When I die
When I die
