Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
But in my head I'm singin'
Singin' the Brooklyn blues
Oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
I've sung love songs to a princess
More than once or twice
I've sung rock and roll in Paris
Jazz in paradise
[Verse 8]
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
My Brooklyn blues
