Eight balloons that no one bought broke free from their strings and floated away, each meeting a different fate - one popped touching the sun, one on a highway, one in a cactus pile, one with a careless child, one trying bacon, one falling for a porcupine, one looking in a crocodile's mouth, and the last popping when its air ran out.

3. Eight balloons no one was buyin’ All broke loose one afternoon. Eight balloons with strings a-flyin’, Free to do what they wanted to.

4. One flew up to touch the sun – POP!

5. One thought highways might be fun – POP!

6. One took a nap in a cactus pile – POP!

7. One stayed to play with a careless child – POP!

8. One tried to taste some bacon fryin’ – POP!

9. One fell in love with a porcupine – POP!

10. One looked close in a crocodile’s mouth – POP!

11. One sat around ’til his air ran out – WHOOSH!

12. Eight balloons no one was buyin’ – They broke loose and away they flew, Free to float and free to fly And free to pop where they wanted to.
