Good God, don't jump
   A boy sat on the ledge
   An old man who had fainted was revived
   And ev'ryone agreed 'twould be a miracle indeed
   If the boy survived
   Save the life of my child
   Cried the desperate mother
  
   A woman from the supermarket ran to call the cops
   "He must be high of something" someone said
   Though it never made the New York Times
   In the Daily News the captio nread
   Save the life of my child
   Cried the desperate mother
  
   A patrol car passing by halted to a stop
   Said Officer McDougal in dismay
   "The force can' do a descent job
   'Cause the kids got no respect for the law today"
   Save the life of my child
   Cried the desperate mother
   What's becoming of the children
   People asking each other
  
   When darkness fell
   Exitement kissed the crowd and made them wild
   The atmosphere was freaky holiday
   When the spotlight hits the boy
   And the crowd began to cheer
   He flew away
  
   Oh, my grace, I've got no hiding place
   Oh, my grace, I've got no hiding place...
