lyrics

MY WHISKEY’S IN BROOKLYN, BUT MY BABY’S IN HARLEM -
by Gabe Terracciano (2020)
-----------------------------------
Now I love New York City
I love the way it never sleeps
But my whiskey’s in Brooklyn, and my baby’s in Harlem
All that distance makes me weep

Whether it’s scotch, rye or bourbon
I’ll take it on the rocks or neat
But my whiskey’s in Brooklyn, my baby’s in Harlem
And I’ll never be complete

Uptown, Downtown
Subways whizzing by
Transfer trains at 42nd Street
How can anyone do this dry?

Now Prospect Park is pretty
But Mount Morris has my troth
My whiskey’s in Brooklyn, but my baby’s in Harlem
Why can’t I have both?

She says live with me in Harlem
And I said the rents too high
With the books I’ve been cooking
I’m living in Brooklyn to afford my whiskey and rye

Now Fulton Street sure is hopping
But Lenox has my boo
My whiskey’s in Brooklyn, and my baby’s in Harlem
What’s a good looking man to do
