I Don't Wanna Go To Brooklyn — The Musical!

"I Don't Wanna
Go To Brooklyn" MP3 (3:25)

I don't wanna go to Brooklyn
Your whole department lives in Brooklyn
I don't wanna go to Brooklyn
Your first apartment was in Brooklyn
I don't wanna go to Brooklyn
All your friends have fun in Brooklyn
I don't wanna go to Brooklyn
Nearly everyone's in Brooklyn

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go to Brooklyn
Trends begin and end in Brooklyn
I don't wanna go to Brooklyn
Trend pieces are written in Brooklyn
I don't wanna go to Brooklyn
Things Brooklyn-based are based in Brooklyn
I don't wanna go to Brooklyn
This world's a place that's graced with Brooklyn

I don't wanna go

I spent the last half hour in the early '90s and, boy, are my arms tired
I pulled a double shift elevating dishes and, boy, are my arms tired
As much is begun as is left undone and, boy, are my arms tired
An elaborate shrug and a luxurious harrumph and, boy, are my arms tired

I don't wanna go
