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 J.F.K.
The movie ended and I pulled up the shade,
looked out the window while the Muzak played.
But in my head Im singin,
singin the Brooklyn Blues. Oh, yeah
When youre growin up in Brooklyn
the Bridge is like a friend.
Said when youre 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, yeah
Now Ive got myself some money
a mansion in Bel-aire.
Yes Ive spent a lot of money
and Ive been most everywhere.
But still theres somethin
missin Ive got to find,
a part of me I mustve left behind,
that makes a guy start feelin,
feelin those Brooklyn Blues. My my.
Ive sung love songs to a princess
more than once or twice.
I've sung rock n roll in Paris,
jazz in paradise.
But theres a song of mine I couldnt have sung,
a tune I started back when I was young.
Now Ive come home to finish,
finish my Brooklyn Blues.
My Brooklyn Blues.
