Yes, people keep asking me every day
How I'm enjoying my stay in the U.S.A
People keep asking me every day
How I'm enjoying my stay in the U.S.A
Yes very fine, I replied
They further ask me where I rather to reside
But I said if someone give me a home free
Not me to reside in New York City
I love to live Brooklyn, Brooklyn
It's very nice and quiet, no foolin'
All over the U.S. I go
But I rather to live Brooklyn where the tree grows
I went to Washington, D.C. by bus
Baltimore and Boston, Massachusetts
Atlantic City and Chicago
Albany, New York and Cleveland, Ohio
I went to California, San Francisco
I also crossed the border of Mexico
Yes, I was asked to remain, but I won't decide
Because Brooklyn is the best place to reside
I love to live Brooklyn, Brooklyn
It's very nice and quiet, no foolin'
All over the U.S. I go
But I rather to live Brooklyn where the tree grows
MacBeth, Duke of Iron and Houdini
Once said that people reside in New York City
Houdini said "I'll find a nice home for you
Where are you living?" "On St. Nicholas Avenue"
They made both a suggestion, they'll look
They said they'll find me a nice home at Sugar Hill
But I know all of them, that they speaking rot
I don't see what New York has Brooklyn hasn't got
I love to live Brooklyn, Brooklyn
It's very nice and quiet, no foolin'
All over the U.S. I go
But I rather to live Brooklyn where the tree grows
Yes, the girls in Brooklyn are so accommodating
Fascinating and don't talk about romancing
Yes their physical stature have me hypnotized
The way they gaze at me with their magnetic eyes
And they does hold me so tenderly
And cuddle me romantically
In love making they make me feel alive
And I just love the way they lay down their jive
I love to live Brooklyn, Brooklyn
It's very nice and quiet, no foolin'
All over the U.S. I go
But I rather to live Brooklyn where the tree grows
