Lyrics

(Melody by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, Lyrics by Louise Ayres Garnett)

Balloons can fly, I wonder why,
They haven’t any wings.
I’d like to know how far they’d go
If we should break their strings.

Some like them red, while some instead
Prefer them green or blue.
But I just find that any kind
Is good enough, don’t you?
