WABC Special Report: The Twin Towers Under construction

Verse 1

Good afternoon

This is WABC Radio

Live from Lower Manhattan

A remarkable summer day

In New York City history

Today marks the official groundbreaking

The future World Trade Center complex

A bold new development

It promises to reshape our skyline

Reshape the way we do business

Reshape our very future

Rising from the southern tip

The monumental Twin Towers

Standing taller than any other buildings

On Earth

American innovation

American determination

The unstoppable spirit of progress

Chorus

A city within a city

A hub of global trade

A city within a city

A new era is made

A city within a city

New York is rising

New York is rising

New York is rising

Verse 2

The complex will feature

Expansive office towers

Into the sky

A grand public plaza

Large central fountain

An underground shopping concourse

Stores and restaurants

A modern hotel

Welcoming international visitors

Train access right at ground level

Construction begins

This summer of sixty-six

Completion projected for April

The fourth

Nineteen seventy-three

A new era is underway

Chorus

A city within a city

A hub of global trade

A city within a city

A new era is made

A city within a city

New York is rising

New York is rising

New York is rising

Verse 3

Speaking of power

Speaking of performance

Moving ahead

Let us talk about

What keeps America rolling

If you want your car

To run smoother

Stronger

Faster

Than anything else on the block

Remember one name

Randy’s Slick Motor Oil

Engineered to reduce engine friction

Increase performance

Keep your motor running clean

Mile after mile

Whether you are cruising

Through the city streets

Or heading out

On the open highway

Randy’s Slick gives you the boost

Your engine deserves

Chorus

A city within a city

A hub of global trade

A city within a city

A new era is made

A city within a city

New York is rising

New York is rising

New York is rising

Verse 4

Drivers are switching

Across the boroughs

Ordinary oil just won't do

Ordinary oil is the past

Ordinary oil is a drag

Get more power

Out of every drop

Ask for Randy’s Slick

At your local service station
