Save The Life Of My Child

Simon & Garfunkel

1. Good God don't jump a boy sat on the edge
   an old man who had fainted was revived
   miracle indeed if the boy survived.
     
R: Save the life of my child cried the
   deserate mother  ah  ah  ah  ah
   
2. a woman from the supermarket ran to call
   he must be high on something, someone
   said.
   Though it never made the New York Times
   in the daily news the caption read :
R:
   
   A patrol car passing by halted to a stop
   said officer McDougal in dismay "The force
   can't do a decent job 'cause the kids 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 excitement kissed the
   
   crowd and made them wild the atmosphere
   was freaky holiday  when the spotlight
   hit the boy and the crowd began to cheer
   Oh my grace I've got no hiding place
