Like the folks you meet on
Like to plant my feet on the
Brooklyn Bridge
What a lovely view from
Heaven looks at you from the
Brooklyn Bridge
I love to listen to the wind
through her strings
The song that she sings for the
town
I love to look up at the clouds
in her hair
She's learned to wear like a
crown
If you've been a rover
Journey's end lies over the
Brooklyn Bridge
Don't let no one tell you
I've been tryin' to sell you the
Brooklyn Bridge
All the folks in Manhattan are
sad
'cause they look at her and wish
they had
The good old Brooklyn Bridge
<instrumental>
If you've been a rover
Journey's end lies over the
Brooklyn Bridge
Don't let no one tell you
I've been tryin' to sell you the
Brooklyn Bridge
You'll miss her most when you
roam
`cause you'll think of her and think
of home
The good old Brooklyn Bridge
