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, 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 everywhere.
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
