Give me a red balloon on a long black string 
I can whistle and I can sing 
With my red balloon on a long black string 
Oh I am richer than any king 

Chorus: 

Laughs are many and tears are few 
Life's exciting and always new 
In a world of girls and boys 
In a world of simple joys 

Give me a paper kite on a windy day 
Oh I think I'll fly away 
With my paper kite on a windy day 
Oh yes I'll fly away 

Give me a warm spring day and an apple tree 
There is nothing that I can't see 
When I look out from my apple tree 
Look up there and you'll see me 

Give me a jar of bubbles and a real good friend 
Oh I wish this day won't end 
With my jar of bubbles and a real good friend 
Oh I wish this day won't end
