Brooklyn Dreaming

Williamburg, Dyker Heights, Brownsville,
Canarie, Bensonhurst, Gravesend,
Red Hook, Sunset Park, Boerum Hill,
Fort Greene, Bay Ridge, and Coney Insland.

Brooklyn is the only place to be,
Home of that seven, one, and eight;
Nothing is much better to me,
Than a place where others won't hate.

As I traverse Lafayette Avenue south,
I come acroos Brooklyn Academy of music;
Those who inhabit BK know what it's about,
When people go ahead and make you sick.

Chocolate Monkey, IO, Boogaloo
Are Brooklyn clubs, but not like Black Betty
And there is nothing that I can do,
But enjoy them like trips to the Serenghetti.

I would like to wine as I dine
At Convivium Osteria, Joya, or the Blue Ribbon;
While I spend my time with a lady who's mine,
Brooklyn would be where I would be living.

I've been to Astroland, the indoor Fun Time USA,
Fairyland, the Boardwalk, and many others
But I went go to Brooklyn's Wet N Wild yesterday
To get reacquainted with my fellow water lovers.

I love Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospective Park,
Especially, Washington Park and Brighton Beach;
There are places in Brooklyn that has a spark,
Which shines in you if you dare wish to reach.

Verrazaro Narrows Bridge goes to Belt Parkway,  
The Rockaway Parkway, leads to Linden Boulervaud,
Bedford Avenue expands to Queens Expressway,
Then end at the Gowanus Canal Bridges so odd.

"Brooklyn!"
My heart to me is screaming,
While I thought no one was looking
I was just again... Brooklyn Dreaming.
