[00:11.63] Good God! Don't jump!"
[00:13.54] A boy sat on the ledge.
[00:15.00] An old man who had fainted was revived.
[00:18.79] And everyone agreed it would be a miracle indeed
[00:22.04] If the boy survived.
[00:24.82] "Save the life of my child!"
[00:33.19] Cried the desperate mother.
[00:28.74]
[00:43.91] The woman from the supermarket
[00:45.61] Ran to call the cops.
[00:47.52] "He must be high on something," someone said.
[00:51.26] Though it never made The New YorkTimes.
[00:53.13] In The Daily News, the caption read,
[00:57.17] "Save the life of my child"
[01:06.00] Cried the desperate mother.
[01:01.27]
[01:27.36] A patrol car passing by
[01:29.21] Halted to a stop.
[01:30.72] Said officer
[01:31.96] MacDougal in dismay: "The force can't do a decent job '
[01:36.71] Cause the kids got no respect For the law today (and blah blah blah)."
[01:41.10] "Save the life of my child!"
[01:44.06] Cried the desperate mother.
[01:48.88] "What's becoming of the children?"
[01:52.01] People asking each other.
[01:59.30] When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd
[02:01.65] And made them wild
[02:02.80] In an atmosphere of freaky holiday.
[02:06.10] When the spotlight hit the boy,
[02:08.46] The crowd began to cheer,
[02:11.13] He flew away.
[02:14.11] "Oh, my Grace, I got no hiding place." Xn
