Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

They say I′m too young to love you

I don't know what I need

They think I don′t understand

The freedom land of the seventies

I think I'm too cool to know ya

You say I'm like the ice, I freeze

I′m churnin′ out novels like

Beat poetry on Amphetamines

I say

I say

Well, my boyfriend's in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I′ve got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play most anything

I′m a Brooklyn baby

I'm a Brooklyn baby

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da

Pa-ta-da-da-da-da

They say I′m too young to love you

They say I'm too dumb to see

They judge me like a picture book

By the colors, like they forgot to read

I think we're like fire and water

I think we′re like the wind and sea

You′re burnin' up, I′m coolin' down

You′re up, I'm down

You′re blind, I see

But I'm free, ooh-ooh

I'm free

Well, my boyfriend′s in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I′ve got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play most anything

I′m a Brooklyn baby

I'm a Brooklyn baby

I′m talking about my generation

Talking about that newer nation

And if you don't like it, you can beat it

Beat it, baby

You never liked the way I said it

If you don′t get it, then forget it

'Cause I don't have to fuckin′ explain it

And my boyfriend′s in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get high on hydroponic weed

And my jazz collection′s rare

I get down to Beat poetry

I'm a Brooklyn baby

I′m a Brooklyn baby

Pa-da-pa-pa, pa-de-da

Te-de-de, da-da-ah

Ooh-ooh, woah

Yeah, my boyfriend's pretty cool

But he′s not as cool as me

'Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby

I′m a Brooklyn baby

Pa-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da, baby

Ah-ta-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, baby

Pa-da-da-da-da-da

Pa-pa-da-pa-da, yeah

Yeah, yeah
