lyrics
Brooklyn, Brooklyn borough by the ocean
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a county built for Kings
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a monument for excellence
Brooklyn, Brooklyn is so much better than Queens
Settled in 1634 by some Europeans called the Dutch
Wooden shoes, the first fashion statement in Williamsburg
Immediately gentrified, the Mohawk tribes were bought out
their sacred hunting grounds became vintage clothing stores.
Brooklyn, Brooklyn borough by the ocean
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a county built for Kings
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a monument for excellence
Brooklyn, Brooklyn is so much better than Queens
In 1664, the British took control with promises of
organic tea and prix fixe brunches
A revolution broke out, when the brunches ended at noon
United we stand for mimosas
Brooklyn, Brooklyn borough by the ocean
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a county built for Kings
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a monument for excellence
Brooklyn, Brooklyn is so much better than Queens
in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge gave passage
for Zagat to rate Grimaldli’s pizza
By 1898, Manhattanites had had enough
and with Jay-Z’s okay annexed the city
Brooklyn, Brooklyn a once proud sovereign city
Brooklyn, Brooklyn we still have cheaper broker fees
Brooklyn, Brooklyn we might be Manhattan’s little bitch
Brooklyn, Brooklyn but we’re so much better than Queens
