Call out the troops now in a hurry
The war machine it springs to life
To worry, worry, super scurry
Wegen 99 Luftballoons
Mann, wer haette das gedacht

The president is on the line
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Just to prove the world was here
Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
In every one a red balloon
You and I in a little toy shop
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Flash the message, "Something's out there"
There's something here from somewhere else
99 dreams I have had
Set them free at the break of dawn
This is it boys this is war
Floating in the summer sky
Back at base, bugs in the software
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
If I could find a souvenir
'Til one by one they were gone
I think of you and let it go
Panic bells it's red alert
99 Kriegsminister
As 99 red balloons go by
Opens up one eager eye
Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute

This is what we've waited for
And here it is, a red balloon
Riefen, Krieg und wollten Macht
99 red balloons go by
99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
Witterten schon fette Beute
In the dust that was a city
