Dandi Wind – Balloon Factory Lyrics

Ow! Wah wah wah wah!
Ow!

I was working overtime at the balloon factory
When I made, I made, I made a discovery
I pulled it from the discard pile and unzipped carefully
The sonics from the face of the Virgin Mother
The face of the Virgin Mother, a deflated balloon
Oh yeah, I started laughing and I started to swoon
I kissed the cold rubber, tears welling in my eyes
A miracle, oh yes, I started to cry
I put the balloon real close, an inch from my face
I said, "Mary, is there something that you've got to say?
You've chosen me as your interpreter
Relay me a message," but all I got out of her was

Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong
Oh yeah!
Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong

I said, "What the fuck you saying? Is that Cantonese?"
And then apologized for cursing and got down on my knees
I was worried that maybe I was losing my mind
But all this praying needed to verify
I run back for Lolita, "Come on over here, go!"
Excited but nervous as I did not know
Which part was what of the Virgin would still appear
But then Lolita turned exactly right then and there
I told the boss all about it and soon we got some booze
Everybody stopped working, made the best of the news
Unpaid vacation for the very next night
But no one left, we just held hands and started to recite
Ow!

Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong
That's right!
Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong
Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong
Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong
Oh yeah!

Ow!
Ow!
Ow!

After that, I gained some local celebrity
I was promoted to be the head balloon inspector
They brought a girl to fame and mounted Virgin inside
And upon my very desk she came to reside
She hung there for years, for her, utterly devoted
But her love could not prevent her image from coming eroded
I soon began to walk 'til she could barely be seen
But right before she vanished, Mary whispered this to me

Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong
Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong
Wah wah wah wah!
Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong ding dong
Oh yeah!
Wang diddly dang dang diddly diddly wang
Wong bong di-, wong bong di-, wong bong ding dong
