Why Do They All Pick on Brooklyn?
Title
Why Do They All Pick on Brooklyn?
Description
V
Just across the bridge from New York City
There’s a great big village quaint and pretty
It’s where that famous tree grows
And the home of many heroes
Why, there’s not a finer place on earth
And so I’d like to know
(Please tell me)
Refrain
Why do they all pick on Brooklyn?
The cradle of my childhood days
Just like the well known tree, it always sheltered me
And now I shall protect her ev’ry bough (her ev’ry bough)
Say what you will of me, bt not of Brooklyn
Speak softly of her name like in a pray’r (like in a pray’r)
God bless her!
Why do they all pick on Brooklyn (I’d like to know)
To me it’s heaven ‘cause the Dodgers came from there!
