Words and Music by Dottie Burman

I am here today to encourage you

To join the new committee I am forming.

We call ourselves the New Yorkers who

Want to aid the rapid rise of global warming.

Think of all the benefits for you

When you support the manufacture of that

Precious CO2.

That precious CO2.

When the air is filled with lots of lovely free-on.

We will have a climate like the Cari-bee-on.

And we'll be forever grateful and give thanks

As we watch the Hudson River

Overflow its banks.

Then on this island where the weather's trop-i-cal

Every street will be a flowing grand ca-na-al.

So no matter where you live it will be true

That you can boast you have a home

That has a river view.

To get around the city

By gondola you'll embark

When the palm trees grow in Central Park.

When the palm trees grow in Central Park.

You will save a lot of money.

Here's the reason.

You will only need one wardrobe

For one season.

No more going down to Florida each year.

The people down in Florida will all be coming here.

This is an inexpensive place for recreation.

You can stay at home and have a great vacation.

On Thanksgiving our parade will be the best.

You can watch the floats go floating by

On Central Park West.

Have a picnic in November.

or December, what a lark!

When the palm trees grow in Central Park

When the palm trees grow in Central Park.

Here are several things that you can do

To cut down on the oxygen, and increase CO2.

And increase CO2.

You can buy another S.U.V.

Then cut down another tree.

Keep your air conditioner going

Keep those light bulbs brightly glowing

You'll be proud that you have helped

To make our effort hit the mark.

When the palm trees grow

Waving to and fro.

When the palm trees grow,

No more ice and snow.

When the palm trees grow in Central Park. Ole!
