To the tune of Disney's "When You Wish Upon A Star," it's a song all about Regulatory Takings
When you're taking property, from a citizen like me
You must fairly compensate or else I'll sue
If the right you take is core, does not matter what it's for
That's per se, and courts today will punish you
BRIDGE:
Value's down, my expectations lost
The diminution of my land is crucial
Fairness is the guiding light, show the court that you are right
When the city takes your property, they'll pay
