Save the Life of My Child

[00:11.24] Good God, don't jump
[00:13.19] The boy sat on the ledge
[00:15.29] An old man who had fainted was revived (He's all right)
[00:18.93] And everyone agreed t'would be a miracle indeed if the boy survived
[00:25.10] "Save the life of my child"
[00:29.16] Cried the desperate mother
[00:44.19] A woman from the supermarket ran to call the cops
[00:47.37] "He must be high on something", someone said
[00:51.09] Though it never made the New York Times
[00:53.04] In the Daily News the caption read
[00:57.60] "Save the life of my child"
[01:01.51] Cried the desperate mother
[01:20.69] (Hello, darkness, my old friend
[01:24.51] I've come to talk with you again)
[01:27.92] A patrol car passing by halted to a stop
[01:31.00] Said Officer McDougall in dismay
[01:34.73] "The force can't do a decent job
[01:36.55] 'Cause the kid's got no respect for the law today"
[01:39.70] (And blah, blah, blah)
[01:41.22] "Save the life of my child"
[01:44.82] Cried the desperate mother
[01:48.75] "Oh, what's become of the children?"
[01:52.52] People asking each other
[01:59.96] When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd and it made them wild
[02:03.00] In the atmosphere of freaky holiday
[02:06.69] When the spotlight hit the boy and the crowd began to cheer
[02:10.35] He flew away
[02:15.38] Oh, my grace, I've got no hidin' place
[02:22.20] Oh, my grace, I've got no hidin' place
[02:29.55] Oh, my grace, I've got no hidin' place
[02:37.34] Oh, my grace, I've got no hidin' place
[02:44.84] Oh, my grace, I've got no hidin' place
[02:46.44]
