Die Trying

What's that?
It's kind of a new character
Park guy, it's just something I was playing around with
Are his shorts pulled up really high?
I mean the normal amount
But also he gets his powers from them
And is the snakehead saying, "I'm this way because I never learned to read"?
It makes sense for his character
Alright, I'm going back out, I'm gonna get that fish
I'm going with you, until bedtime

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 (be boldfaced and daring)
Let us go to tame the wild sea
Time will tell what's meant to be
And we'll fight 'til we are free (catch it like a dad with his shirt tucked in)

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, yeah, 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)

I, I got it
You did it, you really did it
And you didn't die, I like that

I was gonna, I was gonna die, die trying
Didn't die trying, didn't die trying
My team and I, we would've died, died trying
Didn't die trying, didn't die trying (I see you as a superhero)

This means we can save the park
And we'll do it everyday or we'll die trying
Now that's a story

We didn't die, we didn't die, die trying
Flake's fake
Fish fraud
Bitsy bamboozles
Mayor commends the park employees
And we didn't die trying, didn't die trying

I'm gonna buy that stupid park
Yes, you've mentioned that
Maybe I'll buy that stupid neswpaper too
That seems non-profitable
But it would be so pleasing to fire everyone
Does someone need her feel better juice?
I don't want to feel better, I want to-
Wait, yes, feel better juice would be nice
That helps too

I'll buy the park or die, die trying
Please die trying, please die trying
Yes, I'll get that stupid park or die trying
Please, pretty please, pretty please die trying

Oh, we'll protect the park or we'll die trying, trying
Central Park
It's the place where we began
You know your mama's got this, mama's got this (Central Park)
And it's where I met Diane (Diane)
Grandiose and glorious unlike any place on Earth

Thanks to this family, the park is secure now
But thinking it's over is quite premature now
In Central
In Central, Central Park (Central Park)
