[Intro]

Ooh

Way-oh-oh-oh

Wah, wah

Ooh

Way-oh-oh-oh

Wah, wah


[Verse 1]

Here's a little serenade

About a Brooklyn babe

How can I describe the chick?

Let's do some arithmetic

She's a 34-23-34

A killer on the dance floor

Skin-tight jeans, and at fourteen

She was seeing a Marine

Don't underestimate her

She's as hot as a pepper

She don't do the wash

Don't do the cookin'

She don't have to

'Cause she's good lookin'

She don't like

To go steady

'Cause she knows

She ain't ready

To get married and settle down

'Cause it's so much fun to run around


[Chorus]

She's bad, she's bad, she's not afraid

I go crazy over Brooklyn Babe

She's bad, she's ba-a-ad

The Brooklyn Babe


[Verse 2]

Well, let me tell you more

About our heroine

She's the baddest chick

In all of Brooklyn

She's the queen of the hop

Little Anthony's babe

Fan of doo wop

Deadly with the switchblade

Boppin' down Park Slope

Cruisin' Bay Ridge

Hangin' out under the El

And the Brooklyn Bridge

If you wanna be her boyfriend

You better be Italian

Your knuckles better crack

Your hair greased back

I've been all

Over the world

There's nothing like

A Brooklyn girl

They come in all shapes

And all sizes

And they are

The most priceless

Chicks on the planet Earth

And for

What it's worth

I wouldn't trade

A Brooklyn babe

For all the money

Rockefeller made


[Chorus]

She's bad, she's bad, she's not afraid

I go crazy over Brooklyn Babe

She's bad, she's ba-a-ad

The Brooklyn Babe


[Bridge]

Baby, baby, you're an angel

You're such a sexy angel

I want to make

You my gi-i-irl (Yeah)


[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh

Way-oh-oh-oh

Wah, wah

Ooh

Way-oh-oh-oh

Wah, wah


[Chorus]

She's bad, she's bad, she's not afraid

I go crazy over Brooklyn Babe

She's bad, she's ba-a-ad

The Brooklyn Babe


[Outro]

Ooh

Way-oh-oh-oh

Wah, wah (The Brooklyn Babe)

Ooh

Way-oh-oh-oh

Wah, wah (The Brooklyn Babe)

Ooh

Way-oh-oh-oh

Wah, wah (The Brooklyn Babe)

Ooh

Way-oh-oh-oh

Wah, wah (The Brooklyn Babe)
