Transcript

Close. I ended up buying the record and I listened very closely to the German version and I've come up with a new English translation that I think is really much more accurate, much closer. I have to admit there are a couple of lines in this new English version that I'm not real sure about,

but I think it's a much more accurate version. Now this is the new version, 99 Red Balloons. Hello Bobby, my old friend. It's good to see you once again. How's your mother, how's your aunt?

How's your father's skindiving suit? One of the lines I'm not real sure about. Something like this. I've got something you should see. Back at my place, come with me. I've got some brand new furnishings.

Plus 99 dead baboons. 99 dead baboons sitting in my living room. Not too functional, it seems. The quiet and conversation piece This one's Jake, that one's Dina There's Big Ned and my recliner No it's not a lazy boy Can't you see it's a dead baboon?

Dead baboons, everybody! Dead baboons! Dead baboons! Dead baboons, how they got here? I'm not sure Woke up one day, there they were Luckily I've got a lease, allowing pets and their disease I'm just thankful they're not apes, cause apes would clash with the drapes No more napkins at my parties, wipe your hands on a dead baboon

Dead baboons, everybody! Dead baboons! Dead baboons! Dead baboons! Dead baboons! Dead baboons! Dead baboons are lots of fun playing water balloons I've always won. You can keep your dead giraffes in swine I'll take dead baboons every time. There's just one problem I have found it's finding Purina dead baboon chow but what a happy snorkeling device.
