Boca Raton - Stephen Sondheim

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 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

Buy a lot

Or even two

Have we got

A lot for you!

Boca Raton

Come down to Boca Raton

Where every vista sparkles and gleams

City beautiful of your dreams!

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

A world of seaside sports

And leafy malls

A world of jai alai courts

And concert halls

A world of boating, hot springs

Golf links, tennis

Newport, Saratoga, Venice

Boca Raton

You’ll covet

Boca Raton!

You’ll love it!

Best, though, not to delay!

Come and see

The new frontier!

Come and be

A pioneer!

You’ll agree

Tomorrow’s here today

In Boca Raton!

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!

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!

Don’t think twice

Take our advice

Get your slice of paradise!

Boca Raton

Come down to Boca Raton

Where you can swim and mingle and play

And invest in the USA!

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 you can get rich!

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!

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!
