Zoom - Blue Balloon (1975)

Season 4 (1974-1975)

Based on a poem by Christine Stark of Middle Village, New York

Album: Zoom Tunes (1977)

If you were on the moon, what would you do?
Would you play, would you eat, would you build a zoo?
A zoo?

How would you get there to build a zoo?
In a plane, in a train, in a blue balloon?

Come fly away in a blue balloon
Up to the moon

Fly high away in a blue balloon
Gonna visit the man in the moon
(Or maybe it’s a woman)

Who would you take, your sister or aunt?
Would you take animals, like a horse, or maybe a plant?
A plant?

What would you eat? What would you eat?
Maybe carrots, ice cream, or how about a beet?
How about a beet?

Come fly away in a blue balloon
Up to the moon

Fly high away in a blue balloon
Gonna visit the man in the moon
(I’m sure that it’s a woman)

What would wear if it’s cold up there?
Would you wear shorts or sweaters or coats made of hair?
Of hair? Bleah!

But how would you get there? You haven’t told me that
How do you know you’ll get there for a fact?
For a fact

Maybe it’s a dream or maybe it’s true
But if you ever get there you know what to do
To play and eat and to build a zoo
I really hope to go with you if you want me to

Come fly away in a blue balloon
Up to the moon

Fly high away in a blue balloon
Gonna visit the man in the moon
