Big Red Balloon - Nancy Sinatra, Lee Hazlewood

Sometimes a man and a woman spends thirty or forty years together

And they don’t belong together

And then one day, one of them tries to leave

And does but in a most peculiar way

Woman, one of these days I’m (leaving)

Leaving you far behind

And on that day you’ll be (grieving)

Grieve on, woman, I don’t mind

Look out in the backyard (Mama)

Cause I’m leaving you real soon

Gonna fly me up to (heaven)

In my big red balloon

You’re nothing but an old fool

And that’s all you’ll ever be

You’re nothing but an old fool

You know you’ll never beat me

So stop your silly playing

It’s time you settled down

And hear me when I’m saying

You’ll never get that damn thing off the ground

Old woman are ya (looking)

Cause I’m almost ten fight high, high, high

Woman stop your (cooking)

Cause I’ll never eat that pie

I’m on my way to (heaven)

Might even touch the moon

Wave me goodbye I’m (leaving)

In my big red balloon

You’re nothing but an old fool

And that’s all you’ll ever be

You’re nothing but an old fool

You know you’ll never leave me

So stop your silly playing

It’s time you settled down

You better hear me when I’m saying

You’ll never get that damn thing off the ground

You never gave me (loving)

You never were the kind

You never gave me (children)

You never had the time

Remember me to (no one)

I was born this afternoon

I got it all (together)

In my big red balloon

You’re nothing but an old fool

And that’s all you’ll ever be

You’re nothing but an old fool

You know you’ll never leave me

So c’mon and stop this silly playing

It’s time you settled down

And hear me when I’m saying

You’ll never get that damn thing off the ground

You’ll never get that damn thing off the ground

I said you won’t get that thing off the ground

Get that —

What are you doing up there?

Bring that damn thing back down here

Listen — you hear me

Get back down here boy!
