Subject: Brooklyn Love Song From: dr.mike Date: 05 Jul 00 - 01:57 PM Looking for words to "Brooklyn Love Song" - a humorous ballad done best in a Brooklyn exagerated accent. I heard it on a Collins tape (never released) in the 60s. Please respond to dr-mike@pacbell.net

Subject: Lyr Add: MY BROOKLYN LOVE SONG From: GUEST,anon Date: 11 Apr 11 - 07:39 PM Here's one version (as with many jazz songs, lyrics are often tweaked)... Verse: Why is he recalcitrant in Flatbush? Why is he so timid and so shy? Why is he reluctant in Canarsie? And why in Coney won't he even try? Brooklyn Bridge is falling down But he won't make the mating sound... Chorus: Its spring hey and the birds are chirping high up in the tree hey Between them birds and all them noisy little bees hey They're messing up my brooklyn love song Get wise hey come on and dish me up a little kiss or two hey If a tree can grow in brooklyn so can you hey Stop messin' up my brooklyn love song Get a load of romance, give the scenery a glance There's a moon, there's a river, golly gee While you're holdin' my hand and the scenery is grand We can watch the barges throw the garbage out to the sea Look-y here hey lovers sittin' on the stoop they're pitching woo hey Lucky you you've got the stoop right here with you hey Stop messin' up my brooklyn love song |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Brooklyn Love Song From: GUEST Date: 10 Sep 17 - 09:53 PM Margaret Kerry. I sang and danced to this song in the film, "If You Knew Susie." My partner was Dick Humphreys. The film starred Eddie Cantor and Joan Davis ... I was supposed to be 13 because Joan Davis didn't want to have a daughter older than that however I graduated High School while doing that picture. The great Nick Castle set the routine where Dick and danced on two table tops, I was told that we were introducing the song. I still entertain .. sing and tap dance ... because I am the the original reference model of Walt Disney's Tinker Bell for the film Peter Pan ... and the sequals. I'm traveling to Mt.Airy's 27 year of Mayberry Days (Andy Griffith Show) Ihought I might resurrect Brooklyn Love Song for the tap dance at the end of my hour show. Loved ready your stories ... Blessings from Tinker Bell and me |
