Brooklyn Baby Songtext

Beat poetry on amphetamines

I say (Ooh)
I say (Ooh)

Well, my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

They say I'm too young to love you
They say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
By the colors, like they forgot to rеad
I think we're like firе and water
I think we're like the wind and sea You're burning up, I'm cooling down
You're up, I'm down
You're blind, I see

But I'm free (Ooh)
I'm free (Ooh)

Well, my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

I'm talking 'bout my generation (Ooh-ooh)
I'm talking 'bout my newer nation
And if you don't like it, you can beat it (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Beat it, baby
You never liked the way I said it (Ooh-ooh)
If you don't get it, then forget it
'Cause I don't have to fucking explain it (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

And my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get high on hydroponic weed
And my jazz collection's rare
I get down to Beat poetry
'Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da

Yeah, my boyfriend's pretty cool
But he's not as cool as me
'Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-da-da-da-da, pa-da-da-da-da
Pa-pa-da-da-da, yeah
Yeah, yeah
