Boca Raton

Lyrics

[WILSON, spoken] Good morning, America! It's time to wake up to opportunity! Time to wake up to the most magnificent piece of real estate to hit the market since the good Lord foreclosed on the Garden of Eden! And here to tell you all about it is our very own Boca Girl! [BOCA GIRL] Boca Raton Come down to Boca Raton Where every sky's the bluest you've seen Where all year long the grass remains green Where every beach is clean and pristine [BATHING BEAUTIES] Buy a lot Or even two Have we got A lot for you! [BOCA GIRL] Boca Raton Come down to Boca Raton Where every vista sparkles and gleams City beautiful of your dreams! [ENSEMBLE] The city beautiful A work of art in itself The city beautiful Could be displayed on a shelf A picture-perfect place A place of grace and space [MEN] A world of seaside sports And leafy malls A world of jai alai courts And concert halls [WOMEN] A world of boating, hot springs Golf links, tennis [ALL] Newport, Saratoga, Venice [MEN] Boca Raton [WOMEN] You'll covet [MEN] Boca Raton! [WOMEN] You'll love it! [ALL] Best, though, not to delay! [MEN] Come and see The new frontier! [WOMEN] Come and be A pioneer! [ALL] You'll agree Tomorrow's here today In Boca Raton! [WILSON, spoken] Wilson Mizner, friends, issuing you an invitation. Put your feet up, close your eyes, and join me on a VIP tour of paradise! There it is, rising up before us, like the Emerald City of the legendary Oz himself! The shining Shangri-La of the New World! [MEN] Boca Raton Come down to Boca Raton Where everybody's wearing a smile Where everybody's living in style 'Cause everybody's making a pile! [WOMEN] Don't think twice Take our advice Get your slice of paradise! [ALL] Boca Raton Come down to Boca Raton Where you can swim and mingle and play And invest in the USA! [WILSON, spoken] Friends, let me ask you something: you've heard the expression "Land of Opportunity"? Well, this is it! The land itself! Up in the Klondike we shoveled it aside to get at the wealth which it contained. Down here, it is the wealth! God bless America, my friends! 'Cause you can buy it! You can sell it! And it can get you rich! [ENSEMBLE] Buy it now Sell it later And get rich guick! Pick a spot Buy a plot When the spot gets hot Sell the lot My friends, you know what You just got? You got really rich Really quick! Bound to make a bundle! Sure thing! Bound to make a bundle! Just a matter of time! Just a matter of time! Buy today Sell tomorrow And get rich quick! Don't delay Make or borrow Or come what may To your sorrow You'll rue the day That you didn't say "I wanna get rich quick!" Can't you hear that knocking? Hear that sound What is that that's knocking All around? That's opportunity knocking! Every property's prime! And the future's sublime! And the values just climb! And climb! And climb and climb and climb! [WILSON, spoken] What is life, my friends? I say, it is a journey... a road, down which we travel, ever seeking, never satisfied. An endless quest for something different, something better. Onward we go: restlessly reinventing ourselves, searching for something that already lies before us. For in America, the journey is the destination! Or it has been... until now! Until tonight! Because the road which I have just described to you will take us someplace so spectacular, that finally we can cease our searching, stop our wandering, and be content! Where does it lead? To journey's end! Behold, my friends: Boca Raton!
