You're looking at this the wrong way, park man
It's an opportunity!
Not just for me...
I mean, mostly for me, but for everyone!
Also, aren't you kind of sick of fighting for this place?
What has it ever done for you?
You don't understand
How much this piece of land means
And that's because you are mean
I mean, this place is an equalizer
Down in the fertilizer
The heart of the city that beats from the streets
With the people's spirit
Don't you hear it?
This park is a lifeline
A friend of mine
Why would you let it die?
Um, one for the money
Two for the money
Three, tough luck, buddy
It's time to close
Four, because I want it
Five, so I can flaunt it
Six, I get to tell you
It's time to close
I'm pretty sure I've been saying how
For two years this park is perfectly nice to buy
One, nature, go to the Hamptons
Two, leave trees where there could be mansions
A bang and then a boom
Then no more boathouse, no more zoo
Here a Wendy's, there a Friendly's
People come and spendy, spendies!
One, you're diabolic
Two, an alcoholic
Three, can it really be time to close?
Soon you'll be evicted
Here, let me depict it
Kiss your park goodbye
'Cause it's time to close
In the middle of Manhattan
There's a giant shopping mall
We love to spend our money
In this massive urban sprawl
Where did we go?
They tore our castle down
Bitty razed it to the ground
And she ran us out of town
In the middle of Manhattan
There's a giant shopping mall
We love to spend our money
In this massive urban sprawl
And then one by one, surprises
Two more huge high-rises
Three fast food franchises
And then who knows?
Four offshore accounts
One family to denounce
At five o'clock tonight
It's the time to close
Bitty!
I raised my kids here
Made my home here
Me and my family, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Still you'd erase the place
I love most in the world
Well, one, go and destroy it
Two, hope you enjoy it
Central Park!
Take this place and off it
Sell it for a profit
Central Park!
You're the one who set up
Here upon this island
Strip away the meadows
Blow it up and bulldoze
Central Park!
Yes, for the money
All for the money
Money, money, money
It's time to close
Yes, for the money
All for the money
Money, money, money
It's time to close
All for the money
All for the money
All for the money
It's time to close
