‘Good God! Don‘t jump!‘ 
A boy sat on the ledge 
An old man who had fainted was revived 
And everyone agreed ‘twould 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 

(Hello darkness, my old friend 
I‘ve come to talk with you again) 

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 

‘Oh what‘s becoming of the children?‘ 
People asking each other 

When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd 
And it made them wild 
In an atmosphere of freaky holiday 
When the spotlight hit the boy 
And the crowd began to cheer 
He flew away 

‘Oh, my Grace, I got no hiding place‘
