Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
They say I'm too
young to love you
I don't know what I need
They think I don't understand
The freedom land
of the seventies
I think I'm too cool to know ya
You say I'm like the ice
I freeze
Churning out novels like
Beat poetry on amphetamines
I say
I say
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
Ta-da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da-da-ya-da
Pa-ta-da-da-da-da-da
Pa-ta-da-da-da-da-da
They say I'm too young to
love you
They say I'm too dumb
to sing
They judge me like a
picture book
By the colors like
they forgot to read
I think we're like fire and water
I think we're like the
wind and sea
You're burnin' up
I'm coolin' down
You're up I'm down
You're blind I see
But I'm free ah-ah-ah-ah
Oo-oo-oo-oo
But I'm free
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
Talkin' 'bout my generation
Talkin' 'bout my newer nation
And if you don't like it
You can beat it
Beat it baby
You never liked the way
I said it
If you don't get it
Then forget it
'Cause I don't have to *******
explain it
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
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
Pa-da-da pa pa de-da-ah
Te-de-de da-da-ah-ah
Oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo-ah
Yea 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-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da baby
Ah-ta-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da baby
Pa-da-da-da-da-da-da
Pa-pa-da-pa-da yeah
