Pale male the famous redtail hawk performs wingstands high above midtown

Manhattan circles around for one last pass over the park

Got his eye on a fat squirrel down there and a couple of pigeons

They got no place to run they got no place to hide
GC
But pale male he’s cool, see ‘cause his breakfast ain’t goin’ nowhere
GC
So he does a loop t loop for the tourists and the six o’clock news
GC
Got him a penthouse view from the tip-top of the food chain, boys
GCG
He looks up and down on fifth avenue and says “God I love this town”
CG
But life goes on

And all us mortals struggle so
CG
We laugh and cry
CG
And live and die
C

I saw Joe Mitchell’s ghost on a downtown ‘A’ train
GC
He just rides on forever now that the Fulton fish market’s shut down
GC
He said they ain’t never gonna get that smell out of the water
