"Where Do They Make Balloons?"
(Flansburgh/Linnell)
Marmalade's from Scotland
Rugs from Pakistan
Mexico has jumping beans
And cars are from Japan
Clowns are from the circus
Barking comes from dogs
Eggs come from a chicken
And log cabins come from logs
But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?
New York has tall buildings
New Jersey has its malls
Pisa has a leaning tower
Will it ever fall?
The ocean has the fishes
London has a tower
In Holland they have windmills,
Lots of bikes, and pretty flowers
But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?
Spaghetti is from China
But Italians make it best
Ants can make an anthill
And monkeys make a mess
Hungary isn't hungry
And french fries aren't from France
Turkeys aren't from Turkey
They can't fly but they can dance
But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?
But where, where do they make balloons?

Silly. I could have told you that. In Bristol of course. They have a balloon factory and a right mad balloon fest each year. Some crazy inflatables flew over Dunc's house last week. Do a web search and check it out.
Did the inflatables look anything like this?
That's a shame. Your 'This' link doesn't seem to work, so I can only guess.
Oh, oops. It was the cover of Animals with the huge inflatable pig drifting over the Battersea power plant.
Oh great. No, but there were Scottish bagpipers and peculiar gargoyle things. Can't remember what else, you'll have to ask Rex who is by now likely to be pissed as a fart (as we say)in a field full of hundreds of sweating German and Italian sports enthusiasts.
Thanks for the mental picture. Now if you'll excuse me a minute, I'm going to go scrub my mind with steel wool.
