I'm a Brooklyn baby He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed I've got feathers in my hair They say I'm too young to love you Well, my boyfriend's in the band I get down to Beat poetry And my jazz collection's rare I can play most anything

I've got the old man's car I've got a jazz guitar I've got a tab at Zanzibar She's waiting out in Shantytown She's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me Tonight that's where I'll be Ali dances and the audience applauds Though he's bathed in sweat
