st. lenox - hashtag brooklyn karaoke party lyrics
[verse 1]
i heard about the party from a friend in the heights
he’s got a house full of cats that he photographs
he’s got the karaoke shakes and he says there’s a place
where the boys sing songs you heard back in the day
and i dressed up in a long-sleeved plaid
that i saw in the window of a brooklyn thrift store
but how do you wear something retro
before it was cool? before it was cool? yeah
[chorus]
heartbroken on the dancefloor at the g-y bar
singing songs about gin and whiskey
heartbroken in the sad bar corner singing
songs about the boardwalks in new jersey
heartbroken by a sad brooklyn man
singing songs from long ago
[verse 2]
and i had a craving for a peggy lee tune
that you hear on your local jazz stations, yeah
my dad used to play those golden oldies down
in the office of the bas-m-nt back then
and i sung a song from the motown era
’bout the mystery of love and smoke in your eyes
people back then used to work for the girl
and work for the money and work for the honey, yeah
[chorus]
heartbroken on the dancefloor at the g-y bar
singing songs about gin and whiskey
heartbroken in the sad bar corner singing
songs about the boardwalks in new jersey
heartbroken by a sad brooklyn man
singing songs from long ago
[bridge]
[verse 3]
he’s got a blue eye, and seven chords coming out his
liver when he does these hound dog impressions yeah
sad elvis poses was a thing of the past
now pose for the mirror yeah, p-pose yeah
he did the mashed potato and real shimmy shake
did the twist like this, and the charleston chew
he’s got the seven chords dropping on the floor like a
corvette mid-life crisis in a panic room
[chorus]
heartbroken on the dancefloor at the g-y bar
singing songs about gin and whiskey
heartbroken in the sad bar corner singing
songs about the boardwalks in new jersey
heartbroken by a sad brooklyn man
singing songs from long ago
