Oh there I stood in the great big city

Where the buildings're tall and the girls're all pretty

Up stepped a man he said come here son

I got a big deal now if you got the mon'

I bought the Brooklyn Bridge

Two dollars two cigarettes and an autograph picture of Elvis

Well I kept my bridge for a day or so

But then my money was a runnin' low

And I tried to make me a sale

But the man done come and he took me to jail

Said I's crazy laughed at

Told me that a society frowned upon them

Well then he stood me up in a front of a judge

I stood there a grinnin' but the judge didn't budge

He said 30 dollars or 30 days

And I looked at him and all I could say

Was all that take 30 dollars couldn't make that 35 could you

Spend all my money on that bridge

Well after 90 days in that man's jail

I still tryin' to make me a sale

Met some cat called Skid Row Pete

So I traded it off for 52nd Street

Big deal oh big man of action

A big transaction

I bet the folks back home could never realize

That in a great big town this size

Boy like theirs could own the street

Spend his days just to keepin' it neat

Pickin' up cigarette butts wine bottles

Terrorizing the pedestrians hoo them pigeons

I bet old Skid Row Pete ain't got no pigeons

On the Brooklyn Bridge
