To worry, worry, super scurry
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
Call out the troops now in a hurry
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
'Til one by one they were gone
99 red balloons go by
Just to prove the world was here
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Opens up one eager eye
Riefen, Krieg und wollten Macht
Wegen 99 Luftballoons
In every one a red balloon
Witterten schon fette Beute
99 dreams I have had
Set them free at the break of dawn
Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
99 Kriegsminister
The president is on the line
This is what we've waited for
The war machine it springs to life
As 99 red balloons go by
Panic bells it's red alert
In the dust that was a city
This is it boys this is war
There's something here from somewhere else
And here it is, a red balloon
If I could find a souvenir
99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there"
