brooklyn girl - tom flannery lyrics

i once knew a woman she looked like a mousepadlocked
the 2nd b-tton of her catholic school blouse
i guessed the combination she was not impressed
sent me to confession i forgave her nonetheless
made me a little wiser and a little smarter too
made me come searching for someone like you
help me up when i fall even when you’re the one who put
me down
leave the bl–dy bandage laying on the ground
chorus
john prine once said
it’s a big old goofy world
but at least i know i’m safe
with my brooklyn girl
my mother told me son find someone like me
i said ‘mamma i will but first i’d have to leave’

she said you’re only 35 you need a few more years
they’ll cut you all to pieces when you’re wet behind
the ears
i said ma i gotta try it so i packed my bags
landed in brooklyn broke wet and stag
went looking for the dodgers found they’ve been gone a
while
mamma never kept me posted but she always made me smile
chorus
took me a while to find her but it was worth the wait
she was chasing her own mugger with his own .38
screaming at him in a tongue that i’d never heard
before
i could tell he got the message by the yellow streak he
wore
when she finally caught her breath that’s when she
noticed me
i’d never seen a girl so pretty or one so unlike me
right then i knew i’d love her for the rest of my days
and she took me in to where my heart it lays
chorus
