Lyrics
THE FLYING BALL
IT WAS JUST THE OTHER DAY
WHEN I WENT OUT TO PLAY
I THREW MY BALL UP IN THE SKY
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW—
IT STARTED TO FLY!
IT FLEW OVER THE HOUSES,
IT FLEW OVER THE TREES,
IT FLEW OVER THE MOUNTAINS,
IT FLEW OVER THE SEAS.
IT FLEW SO FAR, IT FLEW SO FAST, IT FLEW ALL THE DAY,
THEN IT BOUNCED INTO THE MOON,
AND CAME BACK THE SAME WAY.
IT FLEW OVER THE SEAS,
IT FLEW OVER THE MOUNTAINS,
IT FLEW OVER THE TREES,
IT FLEW OVER THE HOUSES,
IT FLEW SO FAR, IT FLEW SO FAST, IT FLEW ALL THE DAY,
THEN IT BOUNCED INTO MY YARD
AND I HOPE IT WILL STAY.
