Chanson Innocent

In just spring
When the world is mud-luscious
The little lame balloon man
Whistles far and wee
And Eddie and Bill come running
From marbles and piracies

And it's spring
And the world is puddle-wonderful
And the queer old balloon man
Whistles far and wee
And Betty and Disbel come dancing
From hopscotch and jump rope

And it's spring
When the goat-footed balloon man
Whistles far and wee
