When you're growin' up in Brooklyn
Jazz in paradise
And that can start you singin'
Singin' the Brooklyn blues, oh yeah
Yes I've spent a lot of money
A tune I started back when I was young
That bridge is sure your friend
Because that river looks a hundred miles wide
I've sung rock 'n' roll in Paris
Yes I flew in from the west coast
The bridge is like a friend
But still there's somethin' missin' I've got to find
And I've been most everywhere
Said when you're growin' up in Brooklyn
A part of me I must have left behind
The movie ended and I pulled up the shade
Looked out the window while the muzak played
When all your dreams are on the other side
Singin' the Brooklyn blues, oh yeah
But in my head I'm singin'
Feelin' those Brooklyn blues, my my
Now I've come home to finish
That makes a guy start feelin'
But there's a song of mine I couldn't have sung
I've sung love songs to a princess
Now I've got myself some money
A mansion in Bel Aire
More than once or twice
And we circled J.F.K
