Brooklyn for Beginners

from Drifting To The Right by Michael Gutierrez-May

about

First track on this album. Piano and arrangement by Karen Sauer.

lyrics

I learned more about DUMBO that I did in the movies
On a stroll through Williamsburg
I looked up Park Slope, I searched Prospect Park, I kept going and going and going.

They need to write a book called Brooklyn for Beginners
Visitors could get easily lost
On the 6 line, on the 8 line, take a bus from Manhattan
Brooklyn for Beginners

We have Brooklyn to thank for the Dodgers
For Brillo Pads and the Cardboard Box
For the last 20 years, oh so much music, My Morning Jacket, Panic At The Disco, Vampire Weekend, Beastie Boys!
I could keep going and going and going.

Yes, they should write a book called Brooklyn for Beginners
Visitors are easily lost
On the 6 line, on the 8 line, all the way to Coney Island
Brooklyn for Beginners

We have Neil Diamond to thank for Brooklyn Roads
We have Streisand to thank for People
Brooklyn keeps giving, the world keeps taking (2x)
Would you like to buy the Brooklyn Bridge? It’s always for sale.
