Up Up And Away - Hugh Masekela

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?

We could float among the stars together, you and I For we can fly (we can fly)

Up, up and away in My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon

It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon

We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky

For we can fly (we can fly)

Up, up and away in My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Suspended under a twilight canopy

We’ll search the clouds for a star to guide us If by some chance you find yourself loving me We’ll find a cloud to hide us We’ll keep the moon beside us Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon

Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon

If you’ll hold my hand we’ll chase your dream across the sky

For we can fly (we can fly)

Up, up and away in My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Balloon…

Up, up, and away…
