I Love Betsy Annotated

[JACK SINGER]
I like taxis,
I like trains,
I like Brooklyn when it rains
But I love Betsy

I like walking after dark,
I like jogs in Prospect Park
But I love Betsy

I like Shake Shack,
I like MOMA,
And New Jersey’s ripe aroma
The parade’s when I see ‘em and even the DMV

And the Brooklyn Bridge by bike
Heck, there’s lots of stuff I like
But I love Betsy and she loves me

She likes hockey, no I swear
She likes guys with thinning hair
And I love Betsy

She like pizza and Chinese
Louboutin’s and mac 'n’ cheese
God, I love Betsy

She likes swimming,
Writing letters
She likes watching double-headers
She drinks bourbon and sake
And even likes Rocky III

I’m amazed and I’m impressed
But the thing that I like best is I love Betsy
And she loves me

Five years,
I’ve been in love with Betsy for five years
I can’t believe she stuck with me
What kind of luck have I got?
To keep someone like her around

Ten years,
My mom’s been dead already for ten years
So since she put that curse on me
No, there’s no curse,
It's not a curse,
Forget I said curse,
The point is it's been long enough,
Now its time to grow up,
Mom’s in the ground
And look what I’ve found

I like dancing on the pier,
I like Broadway, once a year
But I love Betsy

I like visits to the zoo,
I like opera, that’s not true
But I love Betsy

It's been five years and I’m ready,
Get the sparklers and confetti
Give a wink to the waiter
And summon the maître d,

Just like Jay-Z and Beyoncé,
I will make her my fiancé
I love Betsy,
I love Betsy,
I love Betsy,
And Betsy loves me

I’m a schmuck and Betsy loves me
Doesn’t matter what I do,
I know its true
I could never live without her

Betsy loves me
It's amazing,
Betsy loves me

And tonight I’m gonna show her
Just how proud I am to know her
There’s no danger,
There’s no drama,
There’s no curse,
And there’s no mama

Put my problems in the past
I’m a grown-up man at last
I’m the luckiest guy from the Bronx to the island
So laugh if you wanna,
This whole town is gonna see,
That I love Betsy
sorry mama,
I love Betsy
And she loves me
