Lyrics

Hot Air Balloon
________________________________________

Around the world in 80 days, mama
Higher than a kite, we will fly, you and I

Around the world in silk and canvas
Like we did back in 1905, 1905

And the sun shines straight ahead
The morning rejoices
And the blue, clear blue sky
In our hot, hot air
In our hot, hot air
In our hot, hot air balloon

Flyin' over the green country, mama
You know it still looks beautiful to me, mmmm

Far below I see a human highway
Far below I see a festival of life, of life

And the sun shines through the day
The afternoon rejoices
And the blue, clear blue sky
In our hot, hot air
In our hot, hot air
In our hot, hot air balloon

Around the world in just 8 days, mama
Flyin' in a Concorde is a bit too fast

I got to slow right down, make it last

In our hot, hot air
In our hot, hot air
In our hot, hot air balloon
