Tom Flannery - Brooklyn Girl текст песни

I once knew a woman she looked like a mouse
Padlocked the 2nd button 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 bloody 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
