Facts:
  • Morris Windsor is credited as author of this song using his stage name on the BMI website. (Stavro Arrgolus)
  • One of the strangest pop songs of the '80s and that's saying quite a bit. From their 1988 album- "Globe of Frogs". (Stavro Arrgolus)
  • Song Lyrics:
    I was walking up Sixth Avenue when Balloon Man came right up to me
    He was round and fat and spherical with the biggest grin I ever seen
    He bounced on up toward me but before we could be introduced
    He blew up very suddenly; I guess his name was probably Bruce

    And I laughed like I always do
    And I cried like I cry for you
    And Balloon Man blew up in my hand

    He spattered me with tomatoes, hummus, chickpeas and some strips of skin
    So I made a right on 44th and I washed my hands when I got in

    And it rained like a slow divorce
    And I wished I could ride a horse
    And Balloon Man blew up in my hand

    I was walking up Sixth Avenue when Balloon Man blew up in my face
    There were loads of them on Bryant Park so I didn't feel out of place
    There must have been a plague of them on the TV when I came home late
    They were guzzling marshmallows and jumping off the Empire state

    And I laughed like I always do
    And I cried like I cry for you
    And Balloon Man blew up in my hand
    Balloon Man blew up in my hand
    (Stavro Arrgolus)
