Dear Uptown:
You are my home, you are my office,
You are my studio backlot
You keep me cool during the day and warm at night
Your scenery’s magnificent, your props are mad
Your craft services can’t be beat
You always know when to bring out the best light
You come in on time, you come in on budget
You color everything in without fail
You play host to GWB with such strength and might
So take your Prospect, Dyker and Brooklyn,
Your Roslyn, Jackson and Crown
There’s only one Heights for me,
And you’re always a beautiful sight.
