"Good God!
Don't jump!"
A boy sat
on the ledge
An old man
who had fainted
was revived
And everyone agreed
it would be a
miracle indeed
if the boy survived
"Save the life
of my child!"
cried the
desperate mother
The woman from
the supermarket
ran to call the cops
"He must be high
on something"
someone said
Though it never made
The New York Times
in The Daily News
the caption read
"Save the life
of my child!"
cried the
desperate mother
A patrol car
passing by
halted to a stop
Said officer MacDougal
in dismay
"The force can't do a
decent job 'cause the
kids got no respect
for the law today
and blah blah blah"
"Save the life
of my child!"
cried the
desperate mother
"What's becoming
of the children?"
people asking
each other
When darkness fell
excitement kissed
the crowd and
made them wild
In an atmosphere
of freaky holiday
When the spotlight
hit the boy
the crowd began
to cheer
He flew away
"Oh my Grace
I got no hiding place"
"Oh my Grace
I got no hiding place"
"Oh my Grace
I got no hiding place"
