Lyrics

BROOKLYN’S STILL THE SAME
(Adelman and Champeaux)
Brooklyn’s still the same since you left for L.A.
Brooklyn’s the same since you left for L.A.
2800 miles and everything else chased you away
Wish you the best in the wild wild West
Brooklyn’s still the same since you left for L.A.
So hooray for Hollywood bet that sunshine feels real good
But it’s freezing back east this city needs some sleep
And the promenade’s in pieces but it remains
Brooklyn’s still the same since you left for L.A.
They’ve got swimming pools and movie stars
Palm trees the magic hours
The weather’s just fine not a cloud in the sky
Up and down the boulevard
I hope you find your fun in the California sun
Brooklyn’s still the same since you left for L.A.
Court Street screaming at the rain
Empty bottles win again
And every time I think of you
I know they’ll be nothing new
But I finally get it now you just couldn’t stay
Brooklyn’s still the same since you left for L.A.
So hooray for Hollywood bet that sunshine feels real good
Still freezing back east this city really needs some sleep
But I finally get it now you just couldn’t stay
Brooklyn’s still the same
