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 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 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 have 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
