Brooklyn Lullabye
Written by Glen Burtnik
Late one night on Avenue D
Cinderella first faced the street philosophy
Who up there is tough as nails
Got the spirit in their eyes
And the wind in their sails?
Late at night when she's up in her bed
She listens to the music way up in her head
She's got the city (she's got the city)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got you covered (she's got you covered)
You're in the corner of her eye
She likes the music (she likes the music)
And it makes her want to cry
Turn it on (turn it on, now)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
Weekend at last, bus into the city
Dressed up for Saturday and feeling so pretty
She understands she's the real thing
She says "stand for someting and you'll fall for anything"
That's what she said
Well late at night when she's in her bed
She listens to the music way up in her head
Every night
She's got the city (she's got the city)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got you covered (she's got you covered)
You're in the corner of her eye
She likes the music (she likes the music)
And it makes her want to cry
Turn it on (turn it on, now)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
The world's asleep but they don't know
There's a heartbeat on the radio
She's got the city
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got you covered
You're in the corner of her eye
She likes the music
And it makes her want to cry
(She's got the city)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got you covered (she's got you covered)
You're in the corner of her eye
She likes the music (she likes the music)
And it makes her want to cry
Turn it on (turn it on, now)
Play that Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got the city (she's got the city)
Yeah
She's got you covered (she's got you covered)
(She likes the music)
(Turn it on, now)
