The Abandoned Balloon Blues

This is an original composition by the legendary bluesman Howling Fat Chops. It is based on a true story from his harrowing childhood and features some of his family members as back up singers.

Fat Chops: I want my balloon, I want my balloon
Hannah: Your balloon is in Nana's, we'll get it tomorrow.
Fat Chops: I want my balloon, I want my balloon
Hannah: Your balloon is in Nana's, we'll get it tomorrow.
Fat Chops: I want my balloon, I want my balloon
Hannah: Your balloon is in Nana's, we'll get it tomorrow.
Fat Chops: I want my balloon, I want my balloon
Hannah: Your balloon is in Nana's, we'll get it tomorrow.

Fat Chops: I want my balloon, I want my balloon, I WANT MY BALLOON!
Hannah: Your balloon is in Nana's, we'll get it tomorrow.
Fat Chops: I want my balloon [HOWLS LOUDLY]
Hannah: Nana is minding your balloon.
Fat Chops: [HOWLS LOUDER]
[Repeat entire sequence by 8]

The next part is a vocal solo for Fat Chops where Hannah was trying to ignore him and let him cry it out allow his vocal virtuousity to come to the fore.

Fat Chops: I want my balloon [repeat by 30 in varying levels of grief]

Me: Where is your balloon?
Fat Chops: In Nana's [sobbed]
Me: When are we going to get it?
Fat Chops: NOT TOMORROW! NOW!!!!

Fat Chops: I want by balloon
Monkey Boy: In Nana's [sung in a weary tone]
Fat Chops: I want by balloon
Monkey Boy: Tomorrow [sung in a weary tone]
Fat Chops: I want by balloon
Monkey Boy: In Nana's [sung in a weary tone]
Fat Chops: I want by balloon
Monkey Boy: Tomorrow [sung in a weary tone]
