Brooklyn Blues lyrics

Words by Bruce Sussman and Jack Feldman

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, 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.
