Brooklyn Bridge - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
Oh there I stood in the great big city[00:00:07]
Where the buildings're tall and the girls're all pretty[00:00:10]
Up stepped a man he said come here son[00:00:13]
I got a big deal now if you got the mon'[00:00:16]
I bought the Brooklyn Bridge[00:00:20]
Two dollars two cigarettes and an autograph picture of Elvis [00:00:23]
Well I kept my bridge for a day or so[00:00:29]
But then my money was a runnin' low[00:00:32]
And I tried to make me a sale[00:00:36]
But the man done come and he took me to jail [00:00:39]
Said I's crazy laughed at[00:00:43]
Told me that a society frowned upon them [00:00:48]
Well then he stood me up in a front of a judge[00:00:52]
I stood there a grinnin' but the judge didn't budge [00:00:56]
He said 30 dollars or 30 days[00:00:59]
And I looked at him and all I could say[00:01:02]
Was all that take 30 dollars couldn't make that 35 could you[00:01:06]
Spend all my money on that bridge [00:01:12]
Well after 90 days in that man's jail[00:01:15]
I still tryin' to make me a sale[00:01:18]
Met some cat called Skid Row Pete[00:01:21]
So I traded it off for 52nd Street [00:01:24]
Big deal oh big man of action [00:01:29]
A big transaction [00:01:34]
I bet the folks back home could never realize[00:01:38]
That in a great big town this size[00:01:41]
Boy like theirs could own the street[00:01:45]
Spend his days just to keepin' it neat [00:01:48]
Pickin' up cigarette butts wine bottles[00:01:53]
Terrorizing the pedestrians hoo them pigeons[00:01:59]
I bet old Skid Row Pete ain't got no pigeons[00:02:08]
On the Brooklyn Bridge [00:02:10]
