## Lyrics

**[Owen, spoken]**

Is that?

**[Molly, spoken]**

It's kind of a new character

Park Guy

It's just something I was playing around with

**[Owen, spoken]**

Are his shorts pulled up really high?

**[Molly, spoken]**

I mean, the normal amount

But also, he gets his powers from them

**[Owen, spoken]**

And is the snakehead saying

"I'm this way because I never learned to read"?

**[Molly, spoken]**

It makes sense for this character

**[Owen, spoken]**

All right

I'm going back out

I'm gonna get that fish

**[Paige, spoken]**

We're going with you ... until bedtime

**[Owen]**

There's a fish who's a beast from head to tail

It's become the park's white whale

So just call me Ishmael

**[Molly]**

Be bold-faced and daring

**[Owen]**

Let us go and tame the wild sea

Time will tell what's meant to be

And we'll fight till we are free

**[Cole]**

Catch it like a dad with his shirt tucked in

**[Owen (Paige, Molly and Cole)]**

Be brave (Be brave)

When the moment comes to pass (to pass)

This ain't no Billy Bass (Billy Bass)

See, there's movement in the grass

(In the grass, in the grassy, grassy grass)

Let me do this one thing

Or at least die trying (trying)

I'm gonna do this one thing

Or at least die trying (don't die)

But if I do I hope you'll tell my story

And that's my dying wish

(We'll always remember how you died

When you tried to catch a scary fish)

**[Owen, spoken]**

I-- I got it!

**[Cole, spoken]**

You did it!

**[Molly, spoken]**

You really did it!

**[Paige, spoken]**

And you didn't die, I like that

**[Owen]**

I was gonna die, was gonna die, die trying

**[Paige, Molly and Cole]**

Didn't die trying, didn't die trying

**[Owen]**

My team and I we would've died, died trying

**[Molly]**

I see you as a superhero

**[Paige and Cole]**

Didn't die trying, didn't die trying

**[Owen]**

This means we can save the park

And we'll do it every day or we'll die trying

**[Paige, spoken]**

Now, that's a story

**[Owen, Paige, Cole and Molly]**

We didn't die, we didn't die, die trying

**[Molly, spoken]**

Flake's fake

**[Cole, spoken]**

Fish fraud

**[Molly, spoken]**

Bitsy bamboozles

**[Owen, spoken]**

Mayor commends the park employees

**[Owen, Paige, Cole, Molly, Fran and Elwood]**

And we didn't die trying, didn't die trying

**[Bitsy, spoken]**

I'm gonna buy that stupid park

**[Helen, spoken]**

Yes, you've mentioned that

**[Bitsy, spoken]**

Maybe I'll buy that stupid newspaper too

**[Helen, spoken]**

That seems nonprofitable

**[Bitsy, spoken]**

But it would be so pleasing to fire everyone

**[Helen, spoken]**

Does someone need er feel-better juice?

**[Bitsy, spoken]**

I don't want to feel better!

I want to -- wait, yes, feel-better juice would be nice (blows raspberry)

That helps too

**[Bitsy]**

I'll buy the park or die, die trying

**[Helen]**

Please die trying, please die trying

**[Bitsy]**

Yes, I'll get that stupid park, or die trying

**[Helen]**

Please, pretty please, pretty please die trying

**[Owen, Paige, Cole and Molly (and Birdie)]**

Oh, we'll protect the park

Or we'll die trying, trying

(In Central Park)

**[Bitsy, spoken]**

What if I own it?

**[Owen, Paige, Cole, Molly and Birdie]**

It's the place where we began

**[Paige]**

You know your mama's got this, mama got this

**[Owen, Paige, Cole, Molly and Birdie]**

Central Park

**[Elwood]**

And it's where I met Dianne (Dianne)

**[Owen, Paige, Cole, Molly and Birdie]**

Grandiose and glorious

Unlike any place on earth

**[Birdie (Owen, Paige, Molly and Cole)]**

Thanks to this family

(I'll die if I don't try)

The park is secure now

(I'll die if I don't try)

But thinking it's over

(I'll die if I don't try)

Is quite premature now

(If I don't try, don't try)

Oh, in Central, in Central Park (Central Park)
