    Shine a light or I'll never get back to Brooklyn
    My my, Brooklyn
    It's been so long, now I wanna get back to Brooklyn
    My my Brooklyn U.S.A.

    Shine a light or I'll never get back to Brooklyn
    My my, Brooklyn
    It's been so long, now I wanna get back to Brooklyn
    My my Brooklyn U.S.A.

    She was my baby til I joined the Navy
    I went sailing away
    I said I'll come back someday
    I knew my heart belonged to Brooklyn, only Brooklyn
    Now I wanna get back
    She's my sunny day

    Shine a light or I'll never get back to Brooklyn
    My my, Brooklyn
    Been so long, now I wanna get back to Brooklyn
    My my Brooklyn U.S.A.

    No other pretty face could ever take my baby's place
    There's only one
    And I'm a Brooklyn son
    Well...

    Shine a light or I'll never get back to Brooklyn
    (oh shine a light from Brooklyn)
    My my (my my my my), Brooklyn (I'm a-comin home)
    Been so long now I wanna get back to Brooklyn
    (oh shine a light from Brooklyn)
    My my Brooklyn U.S. (come on)
    My my Brooklyn U.S. (yeah)
    My my Brooklyn U.S.A. (oh shine shine shine shine)
    My my Brooklyn U.S.A.

    Hello - I have a 7" vinyl 33 1/3 RPM recording of this song. Opal Records #101. I'll be listing on Ebay shortly. Note: I have two copies. Will likely ask $20 each based on the non-existent supply versus the non-extent demand. =) RanWiz
