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 Muzak played
But in my head I'm singin',
singin' the Brooklyn Blues
Oh, yea
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 th at can start you singin'
singin' the Brooklyn Blues
Oh, yea
Now I've got myself some money
a mansion in Bel-aire
Yes I've spent a lot of money
and I"ve been most ev'ry-where
But still there's somethin' missin' I"ve got to find,
a part of me I must've 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 'n' roll in Paris,
jazz in paradise
But there's a song of mine 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
