Save the Life of My Child

"Good God! Don't Jump!" A boy sat on the ledge And 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 Thought 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 "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 The crowd began to cheer He flew away "Oh my Grace I got no hiding place" "Oh my Grace I got no hiding place"
