bobby bare - brooklyn bridge lyrics
(bobby bare – lance guyness)
oh, there i stood in the great big city
where the buildings’re tall and the girls’re all pretty
up stepped a man he said come here son
i got a big deal now if you got the mon’
i bought the brooklyn bridge
two dollars, two cigarettes and an autograph picture of elvis.
well, i kept my bridge for a day or so
but then my money was a runnin’ low
and i tried to make me a sale
but the man done come and he took me to jail.
said i’s crazy, laughed at
told me that a society frowned upon them.
well, then he stood me up in a front of a judge
i stood there a grinnin’ but the judge didn’t budge.
he said 30 dollars or 30 days
and i looked at him and all i could say
was all that take 30 dollars, couldn’t make that 35 could you
spend all my money on that bridge.
well, after 90 days in that man’s jail
i still tryin’ to make me a sale
met some cat called skid row pete
so i traded it off for 52nd street.
big deal, oh big man of action,
a big transaction.
i bet the folks back home could never realize
that in a great big town this size
boy like theirs could own the street
spend his days just to keepin’ it neat.
pickin’ up cigarette b-tts, wine bottles
terrorizing the pedestrians, hoo them pigeons
i bet old skid row pete ain’t got no pigeons
on the brooklyn bridge…
