Brooklyn Blues

See I flew in from the west coast

Just the other day

Yes I flew in from the west coast

And we circled JFK

The movie ended and I pulled up the shade

Looked out the window while the music played

But in my head I'm singin'

Singin' the Brooklyn blues

Oh, yeah

When you're growin' up in Brooklyn

The bridge is like a friend

Said when you're growin' up in Brooklyn

That bridge is sure your friend

Because that river looks a hundred miles wide

When all your dreams are on the other side

And that can start you singin'

Singin' the Brooklyn blues

Oh, yeah

Now I've got myself some money

A mansion in Belaire

Yes I've spent a lot of money

And I've been most everywhere

But still there's somethin' missin' I've got to find (Got to find)

A part of me I must have left behind (Left behind)

That makes a guy start feelin'

Feelin' those Brooklyn blues

My, my

I've sung love songs to a princess

More than once or twice

I've sung rock and roll in Paris

Jazz in paradise

But there's a song that I couldn't have sung

A tune I started back when I was young

Now I've come home to finish

Finish my Brooklyn blues
