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
Said when youre growin up in Brooklyn
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 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 must have 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
Ive 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
