"The Jogger's Song" / "There's Something Weird Above Manhattan"

To the song "The Phoney King of England" from Disney's "Robin Hood",
Lyrics by Constance "Eilonwy" Cochran

On my run in Central Park I saw
A statue odd and new
It had wings and awesome claws
My tale is strange but true
Looking at the sky next night
My heart began to pound
For winged shapes with fearsome cries
Were up there flying 'round.
The laser blasts were fast and bright, and it was truly quite a fight
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan

You'd think my story's over, friend
But there's much more to tell
Beneath the moon, bot not at noon
It's like a magic spell.
Explosions and the falling rock
It's been a bit too much
What's going on? I think I'll ask
That cop who's on a crutch.
It's all the fault of that billionaire who built his castle in the air
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan

While I try to live my life in peace
I just keep seeing stuff
A dog-like beast stopped traffic east
I've nearly had enough.
I thought that I had seen it all
But that was just the start
As I gaped guess who showed up?
The creature's counterpart.
I might confess all to my shrink, but he might throw me in the clink
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan

And if I could recall the night
I cant recall at all
I might stay sane
I could forget the claw marks on the wall.
But nothing can compare to what
I saw one autumn eve
An armored figure with a sword
He made those muggers grieve.
Moving might be wise although I just cant go until I know
Why there's something weird above Manhattan
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan

There's one last verse I've not rehearsed
But I must have my say
On another run in Central Park
I thought I saw a fay.
But after all that's happened here
I took it in my stride
It must have been the water
so I poured it to one side.
Urban dwellers now beware there's something stirring in the air
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan
Oh, there's something weird above Manhattan
