Bubbles floating all around,
Bubbles fat and bubbles round,
Bubbles on my toes and nose,
Blow a bubble, up it goes.
Bubbles floating all around.
Bubbles falling to the ground.

I'm forever blowing bubbles,

Pretty bubbles in the air,

They fly so high,

Nearly touch the sky,

Then like my dreams,

They fade and die.

Fortune's always hiding,

I've looked everywhere,

I'm forever blowing bubbles,

Pretty bubbles in the air.
