I Like Brooklyn (The Brooklyn Song)

I like Brooklyn
Summers in the street baby
B-Ball hangin' out with my peeps
Here comes Friday, the end of the week
Bay Ridge, Coney Island, L&B's

You like the city, the village, the scene
Mingle with the suits, Tavern on the Green
Corner cafes, mocha lattes
Even on Saturdays - What else can I say

(Chorus)
Vagabond or Millionaire
Not too suave or debonair
I'm not about to change
I got Brooklyn runnin' through my veins

You like the Hamptons, the parties, the beach
Layin' in the sun sippin' on a drink
Drivin' round town in your SUV
You'd never think twice about a guy like me

I like Brooklyn
Where the subway screeches
Rooftop vocals with a hip-hop beat
Everyone say bring back the day
When the Dodgers used to play
Come home from L.A.

(repeat chorus)

I like Brooklyn
Summers in the street baby
Stickball hangin' out with my people
Here comes Friday, the end of the week
Bay Ridge, Coney Island, L&B's

You like the city, the village, the scene
Mingle with the suits, Tavern on the Green
Corner cafes, mocha lattes
Even on Saturdays - What more can I say

(repeat chorus)

Vagabond or Millionaire
Not too suave or debonair
I'm talkin' about the place
Where they started the disco craze
Proud to be born and raised
Brooklyn, New York, U S A
