Good God! Don't jump
A boy sat on the ledge
An old man who had
fainted was revived.Is all right
And everyone agreed
to be a miracle indeed
If the boy survived
Save the life of my child
Cried the desperate mother
<Interlude>
The woman from the supermarket
to call the cops
He must be high on something
someone said
Though never made The New York
Times.In The Daily News
the caption read
Save the life of my child
Cried the desperate mother
<Interlude>
A patrol car passing by
Halted to a stop
Said officer MacDougal
Do the 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
Oh, my Grace
I got no hiding place
Oh, my Grace
I got no hiding place
